Frankly, the problem with bad habits is that they're...well, they're habits. So no matter how stupid or hurtful they are, we keep doing them. Because it's easy to do, and hard to break. It's just following the path of least resistence.
Take, for example, a bad habit of mine. I mentioned it in the highly metaphorical post on November 9th. The habit I have of nearly dying from poison and always going back for more. I'm doing it again, I know I am. It's just in a different bottle. Maybe more than one bottle. I'm not worried about being destroyed by it; I know that no matter how much poison I consume, accidentally or intentionally, it can't kill me. That's just not how I work.
Time and time again, it comes back to habit, which leads to ease, which often leads to difficulty; ironically enough, the ends are in complete opposition with the means. Does it really make sense that we make things more difficult by taking the easy path? So why do we do it?
