we, humans, are creatures of habit

a) the rhetorical, (lol), response to the oxymoronic rhetorical questions "why do old habits die hard/ people resist change"?

b) a nicer way of telling someone "no matter how hard you try to change someone's 'undesirable' (at least according to you) characteristics, they will always retain part of their individuality."
a teenage boy comes crying to his father : " why won't my girlfriend Meedith follow me to Concordia University in Mechanical Engineering; all she wants to do is go to Mcgill University and do Psychology. Is there anything I can do?

father: yes and no. yes, you can be understanding of her, and not commit a St Valentines Day Massacre on her, and no, you can't do a rat's ass about it, simply because your sigother Meredith is part of the human race, and therefore the cherry-phrase we, humans, are creatures of habit applies to her as well.

Other Creatures of a Woman Being

Used to describe trans femmes, particularly those in the Dallas, Texas area of Portland, Oregon.
I deserve not to gaze upon the Other Creatures of a Woman Being, lest they return my gaze and fill me with shame for having thought to try.

Walmart Creature

Some one more sophisticated than a hobo, but less than white trash. They are usually poor, but never realize when they are close to being extremely rich. They might not be good at reading in general, or be educated past middle school. Charlie Kelly and Frank Reynolds, from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, for example, are Walmart Creatures
person1: Ew, look a Walmart Creature.
person2: I bet he could sell that and make millions, if it wasn't covered in drawings of penises.
person1: yeah. Why do we still go to this place?

we, humans, are creatures of habit

a) the most pragmatic, rational response to the rhetorical questions "why do old habits die hard" and "why people resist change"

b) a nicer way of telling someone "no matter how hard you try to change someone, they will always retain part of their individuality."
a teenage boy comes crying to his father : " why won't my girlfriend Meedith follow me to Mechanical Engineering; all she wants to do is go study Psychology. Is there anything I can do?

father: no. the cherry-phrase we, humans, are creatures of habit applies to her too. not matter how much you have in common, she is still her own individual person. The only thing you can do, is not commit a St Valentines Day Massacre on her, that's about all i can tell you.

father: no and no. No, she doesn't deserve that you commit a St Valentines Day Massacre on her, and no, you can't do a rat's ass about it, simply because the cherry-phrase we, humans, are creatures of habit applies not only to her, but to everyone else in the world as well.
