Dislike of habits and the drive toward flexibility

Against heavy background construction noise, Frederic asks whether his dislike of habits is behind the many varied events and situations he has been going through, or whether that is simply life.

The Wonders answer that part of it is that he wants to shed his habits: he has been seeking to change, to become more flexible and less structured than in the past, and this desire is pushing the limits of everything he chooses and experiences.

His interactions are changing and he will be even less happy with repetition than before, no longer merely from boredom but because he now recognizes that repetition prevents him from being flexible and choosing in the moment.
