HABIT is hereditary with us humans. In a familial bevy, we get acclimatized to inter-relations and these in-turns develop or evoke emotions or actions akin. If our existing inter-relations are kindred and we are getting acclimatized to a bequeathed inter-relation then there is a strong probability that we are developing habits causal to the acclimatized bequeathed inter-relation in effect duplicating behaviors, actions or emotions similar to the bevy. In a sense, habits keep us from differentiating.
In contrast in nature, generally in a genus, species that develop variations in character from each other; will have the best chance of seizing on new and different places in the polity of nature. The more diversified the descendants become, the better will be their chance of success in the battle for life. The small differences arise on account of the species struggle for existence and would be passed onto so that its survival is ensured.
How is it that when we know the latter is better suited to our survival and progress that we still consciously choose the former?
Frankly, I don't know...maybe it is something like: ice cream is fattening, but I still have it, I guess we are all entitled to a little lassitude.
