Many people just enjoy being comfortable - it doesn't matter to them/us that comfort has come to mean a constant level of dull pain or numbness. When someone dares to suggest that there may be something outside that zone, you are right: they/we may act or react to fear of the unknown. Sometimes the world can seem so unpredictable and chaotic that self-created comfort zones are the only stability people may have. I'm not sure that we should be telling people it is wrong to want some sense of stability - somewhere - in a chaotic confusing world. That said, learning to embrace/accept change gracefully has been a lesson I have been consciously working on for about a year now...
