At the end of the day...

people would still choose stability over and above all other things.

He's right... People just wouldn't have the guts to leave their comfort zone & thus choose to stay on whereever they are... for the simplest reason: STABILITY

Even if it means they might have a shot at happiness elsewhere... with someone else, maybe. But it's just too daunting to give up whatever you're so familiar with for something new and dangerous...

Wisdom or stupidity... Let's all be our own judge.
