I see life as a continuous balance act attempting to replace bad habits with good ones. At the same time attempting not to ignore desires that lurk in our subconscious, or perhaps more conscious mind, that must be addressed if we do not want to endure surprising backlashes when circumstances and people provide them in our lives.

Counteractions can and do come to haunt our lives if we believe we have risen above them and still they lurk in our past with only the right circumstances for them to once again surface. That is why environmental influences play such a strong role in spiritual life and practices.
