The Force of Habit
ord, sometimes
you fill me with a feeling quite unlike my normal state. This gives me
an inward sense of delight, which if it were to reach fulfillment in me
would be something entirely different from my present life.
But my heavy burden of distress drags me back. I am sucked back to my habits and find myself held fast; I weep greatly, but I am firmly held. The load of habit is a force to be reckoned with!
-- Confessions 10, 40
Prayer. You have accompanied me on my path, O Truth, teaching me what to avoid and what to desire.
-- Confessions 10, 40
