You know, sometimes we do things out of habit.
At other times, we do things from tradition because it was the way we were raised or because it just “feels” like it’s right. We don’t stop to investigate if what we’re doing is really right. We just continue because it’s familiar and easy. It’s always easier to continue doing the thing that’s familiar than it is to do something that’s new and unfamiliar.
