Unlearn old habits to learn new habits.

Derrick, you in effect describe the process of habit.  It is frankly hard work to create and follow healthy, ethical habits, for in the process we must also unlearn bad, hurtful habits.  As the Chinese Taoists teach, to learn we must first unlearn.  It takes on average 21 days to break a habit, and then average another 21 days to learn a new habit.  It is hard work, but, in the final analysis, it is worth it.  Dr. Rux
