"We all know about the endless struggles smokers or alcoholics go through when they wish to give up their harmful habit. Why this conflict? Because our habits are bonds we create with our own cells, which are living beings. It is very difficult to break these bonds; our cells refuse to co-operate. It is exactly like wanting to divorce a man or woman who refuses to separate. Deciding to change is a heroic undertaking. Tobacco, alcohol and drugs are examples everyone easily understands. But it's the same for all bad habits and inclinations. Faults and vices are entities endowed with their own will, just as illnesses are, and that is why they put up resistance."
