Imagine you're used to eating pizza every day. One day, your teacher says you have to try a new food, maybe broccoli. Even if broccoli is healthy and delicious, it can feel weird at first. That's like how some people feel about change, even when it's good for them, they miss what they know.
Examples
- A child who loves eating chocolate every day resists trying a new ice cream flavor, even if it’s better.
- An old man doesn't want to move out of his house, even though the new place is bigger and has more light.
- A student avoids taking on extra subjects at school, even though they might help her get into college.
