Many daily routines tend to be done automatically and mechanically without thinking.
Familiar routines become comfortable, and we sometimes choose to avoid participating in new situations or events. New ways of doing things can be an uncomfortable change for some people, or often times, we are just plain too lazy to think about participating in new ways of being. Because, it is easier to stay in a dream, create illusions, and live in false realities. We are taught to live life at an ever increasing, hectic pace. We are not taught to think creatively.
