They don t want to be bothered with new ideas or new inventions. They don t want to add any new information to what they already have in their heads. After all, thinking requires effort and energy. It is mental work. They look forward to a sameness in all their days.
Many people are tired.
They just want to rest. So they get all snug and warm and cozy, close their minds, and pull up their emotional security blankets. They wrap those imaginary blankets around them, cloaking their faces, feeling all safe and comfortable. They live in a self-made cocoon, closing their eyes to greater possibilities. Mentally, they are asleep.
