People will even fight to the death to keep from getting jolted out of their comfort zone, I'm always amazed at the level of effort people will put into to protecting it. They build up mountains of bureaucracy so they don't have to change (or do anything foreign) to their daily grind. There is a Buddhist teaching that I think applies to this, "the impulse to stay busy can be a particularly insidious form of laziness."
