It is interesting how pervasive dysfunctional habits can be in comparison to functional and healthy habits in our lives. To use sobriety as an example. How easy is the fall and how hard is climb from that fall?

Like your piece alludes to, we carry so much baggage that is not ours to carry. That baggage is heavy and breaks our will. It is interesting how our minds work. We seek out this baggage as a crutch or shield against the outside world almost subconsciously and it becomes nearly impossible for us to set that baggage down and walk away.
