About This Quote

If your life is without a sense of narrative structure, it will be very hard to get used to. As you get older, you become more and more accustomed to the structure of your life. Since you don’t get bored by routine, there is no reason for you to get used to change. As a result, your anxiety rises and your sense of boredom increases.
