Okay, I'm posting again.
It's kind of weird to see how important familiarity really is to people. I was talking to a bunch of homeless guys the other day (talking is a relative term; I got lost and showed up 45 minutes late) and I noticed that even though their lives pretty much suck, they find so much comfort in the devil they know - homelessness - that they don't even want to try for the devil they don't - still poverty, but at least with a job and a home. There are many people who can't or won't hire the homeless, but many homeless people who probably could get back on their feet again just don't want to try. Sometimes I think I'd rather go back to being a nihilist - even though I know how much I hated that the first time around - than try to be the Christian I want to be. Creatures of habit, we humans are.

unforutnatly this world is based on ruitines. it gives people a sence of security, that if they do the same things everyday nothing can go wrong.
