9. Position of Equilibrium As humans we want to be physically, mentally and socially comfortable. When we get “knocked off” of our stasis we look for companionship to get us back in a state of equilibrium. The only reason we communicate is maintain equilibrium or stasis.

Although new information may come along that contradicts our current thought, we dismiss it so we can maintain our comfort.
