The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs. Self-conceit often regards it as a sign of weakness to admit that a belief to which we have once committed ourselves is wrong. We get so identified with an idea that it is literally a "pet" notion and we rise to its defense and stop our eyes and ears to anything different.

Lose/Win people bury a lot of feelings. And unexpressed feelings come
forth later in uglier ways. Psychosomatic illnesses often are the
reincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment and
disillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality. Disproportionate rage
or anger, overreaction to minor provocation, and cynicism are other
embodiments of suppressed emotion. People who are constantly repressing,
not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects the
quality of their relationships with others.
