Lose The Habit

"In ordinary life you know yourself from your surroundings, which become the measure and the mirror of your thoughts and actions. Remove the familiar and you are left with a stranger, the disembodied voice of one's own self which, robbed of its usual habits, seems barely recognizable."

An Unexpected Light - Travels In Afghanistan by Jason Elliot, Picador, London, 1999 - page 144.

We gain and gather these habits over a lifetime and from our ancestors, and do not even realize it. Lose the habits and find yourself.
