About this Quote

In this quote, Chuck Palahniuk is suggesting that people are often resistant to change and fixing their issues. He thinks that individuals are comfy with their current state, even if it consists of drama, diversions, and unsolved stories. This is due to the fact that they fear the unknown and what their life would be like without these concerns. Palahniuk is highlighting the human tendency to stick onto what recognizes, even if it is not perfect, instead of facing the uncertainty of modification. He is also suggesting that individuals may not be ready to let go of their issues and the chaos in their lives, as it provides a sense of function and identity.
