Sorry for my last message.   The first paragraph *draft* was left on the
computer when my dog Oscar’s big snout went under my desk and hit the
keyboard and it was sent. 

MB was pretty sharp to find a sentence that was in the right ball park, but
I'll abbreviate and try now to make some sense of the paragraph: 

Restlessness can be a good thing.  It affords ample space for contemplation
on why there is a longing for something different.  But instead of
supplanting that feeling with a new challenge, invariably people reach for
something easy and familiar.  

Bty, I came across the below link recently, and it caught my eye because it
contains the quote of Hamlet "to be or not to be ..." which sums up my
views on one of the most powerful phrases in literature.
