Re: question: > How did you solve the "like" factor?
I don't know how true, but I like these passages. "My mother had a favorite saying (origin unknown): "You can get used to anything if you do it long enough. Even hanging." She trotted out that saying whenever my siblings or I complained about something that wasn't going to change." And later: "Persuasion Tip #22: People automatically get used to minor annoyances over time." "My mom’s point of view captures an important rule in persuasion. People can get past minor annoyances if you give them enough time. Humans quickly adapt to just about anything that doesn't kill them."
