Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what

Summary

This quote emphasizes why change can be difficult for individuals. It suggests that people often have a natural inclination to overvalue the current state of their lives, possessions, or circumstances. In doing so, they tend to underestimate the potentially greater benefits or advantages that could be gained by relinquishing what they currently have. This mindset hinders individuals from making necessary changes or taking risks, as they prioritize maintaining the present state over the potential rewards that change may bring. Ultimately, this quote highlights the psychological resistance people have towards embracing change due to their perceived attachment to the familiar.

You are the daughter of the sea,oregano's first cousin.Swimmer, your body is pure as the water;cook, your blood is quick as the soil.Everything you do is full of flowers, rich with the earth.Your eyes go out toward the water, and the waves rise;your hands go out to the earth and the seeds swell;you know the deep essence of water and the earth,conjoined in you like a formula for clay.Naiad: cut your body into turquoise pieces,they will bloom resurrected in the kitchen.This is how you become everything that lives.And so at last, you sleep, in the circle of my armsthat push back the shadows so that you can rest -vegetables, seaweed, herbs: the foam of your dreams.
