Sometimes you make up your mind about something without knowing why, and your decision persists by the power of inertia. Every year it gets harder to change.
The quote from Milan Kundera’s "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" highlights how decisions can become entrenched over time. People often commit to choices without fully understanding their reasons, leading to a sense of inertia that makes it increasingly difficult to alter those choices as time passes.
This reflects a broader human tendency to cling to past decisions, making it challenging to embrace change. As individuals resist reevaluating their paths, the weight of these unexamined choices accumulates, resulting in a lack of freedom and potential regret for missed opportunities.
