we, humans, are creatures of habit

we, humans, are creatures of habit

a) the most pragmatic, rational (IMHO) 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 and no again. 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 to her too.

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.
