Question

What are ‘reason’ and ‘dead habit’ compared to?

Answer 1

‘Reasons’ in this case can mean the reasons or justifications behind beliefs or actions. In other words, they are the reasons why someone does something. Another term for this is ‘dead habit.’ A dead habit is a behaviour or practice you perform without thinking that is no longer useful or effective. It is a habit that stays the same even when you don't think about it or think about how it fits with your current situation.
