i have done a great deal of research into this question my answer is very simple it makes people comfortable not changing. for and example if your around the same person your entire life and then that person moves away or leaves and they say you will more than likely never see them again that would be upsetting if you have created a bond with that person. this is the most common problem that i have observe in today's society a large majority of people have a thought process that if anything is different or unique to what they personally believe they must fight it or destroy it because it may destroy what they think there way of life is. The solution to this problem is simple do what feels right and not what feels comfortable all the time.

She uses the example of the caterpillar to show that sometimes we might keep from doing something just because we are afraid and don't know what will happen if we take that action without knowing what will happen after.
