Yes, it seems to me that this is how it happens. You end up waking up in the morning, making the same trips to the store, the same gestures with customers, and suddenly you realize that you don't ask yourself anything more than what you have to do today. The phrase "no longer has the desire to seek Heaven" hit me straight. I think that's why it's good to go to church at least on Sunday, to remember that you're not just a part of this routine.
