they have been accustomed to. 1or eample smo-ing,drin-ing co%ee or tea regularly, etc. Habits are a secondnature with us. 3nce they develop, they tend to becomepermanent. $hen it becomes di4cult for us to act in a waydi%erent from the habitual ones. ! habit is a stronglyestablished and deeply rooted mode of response. !sMaclver and 0age have pointed out, habit is theinstrument of life. #t economizes energy, reduces drudgeryand saves the needless ependiture of thought. 5illiam

6ames considers it a preciously conservative agent.
