It's the most unhappy people who most fear change.

It's the most unhappy people who most fear change.

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who are truly unhappy or dissatisfied in their lives are often the ones who are most resistant to change. Change represents a disruption of their comfort zone, and fear of the unknown leads them to cling to what is familiar, even if it is causing them unhappiness. By avoiding change, they hope to avoid potential further unhappiness or uncertainty, perpetuating a cycle of discontentment. However, embracing change and stepping outside of their comfort zone could offer them the opportunity for growth, happiness, and a more fulfilling life.

It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people's attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.

Thousands stand and chant. Around them in the world, people

Thousands stand and chant. Around them in the world, people ride escalators going up and sneak secret glances at the faces coming down. People dangle teabags over hot water in white cups. Cars run silently on the autobahns, streaks of painted light. People sit at desks and stare at office walls. They smell their shirts and drop them in the hamper. People bind themselves into numbered seats and fly across time zones and high cirrus and deep night, knowing there is something they've forgotten to do.
