One step at a time, no leaps of faith, prudence. You don’t know what is out there. You can’t see that far. You are not prepared. What if it is more than you can handle? What if it is more than you’d choose to handle? What if you’d simply rather not handle it at all? Avoid, avoid, avoid. This has kept you safe. This is sensible.
“Sometimes lacking effort. Sometimes the required effort.”

There is a manner of doing things. It is what you have seen. It is the set of instructions that you were given. It is the routine that you stick to. It is the habits that die hard. It is what you like to call… discipline. Though it may be something else. But it works. Somehow.

Alarms go off, and you panic. What is that unfamiliar sound? It cannot be good. It definitely isn’t. Because it is new and it is different, and you don’t know what to do with that. It is not what you were expecting. It complicates.
But you are no coward, not necessarily. You will get through it, one way or another, if you must. Taking what you are used to and mixing it with what you encounter. What is right and what is wrong be damned. There is only survival and making it to where you ought to be. And that is back to where there are no threats. Taking risks and expanding your horizons is overrated.
You are baffled. Why would anyone deviate? Didn’t they see what happened to the person who did that? They were insane! Repetition is fine. Repetition is preferred. Repetition brings you the same. Let’s not be original, let’s imitate.
I will shrink, I will stagnate, and I will be adequate. How dare you insinuate I am miserable!
