One reason we resist making deliberate choices is that choice equals change and most of us, feeling the world is unpredictable enough, try to minimise the trauma of change in our personal lives.

Summary

The quote emphasizes that people often resist making deliberate choices because they associate choices with change, and change is often seen as unpredictable and potentially traumatic. Many individuals strive to minimize the impact of change in their personal lives since they already perceive the world as unpredictable. This resistance arises from the desire to maintain stability and avoid the potential discomfort or disruption that change can bring.
