All freedom comes from habit. From routine. Many fight habits, but (by far) it's much harder to make a habit than break one. Humans have individual habits, but also human institutions are habits, collective habits. This is an iconoclastic time, where the passion is to always have the new, to break the habits of the old. But we don't replace those habits with new habits, and then wonder why we feel constantly busy and exhausted and anxious. True freedom and peace in life comes from the patient building of habits.
