Spanish term or phrase: Después de todo, se estaba tan bien aquí como enfrente.
Hace tiempo que tendríamos que haber cogido la costumbre de desplazarnos libremente, sin que nos costara: Pero no lo hemos hecho: nos hemos quedado donde estábamos; las cosas se han quedado como estaban. No nos hemos preguntado por qué aquello estaba allí y no en otro sitio, por qué esto era así y no de otro modo. Enseguida ha sido demasiado tarde evidentemente, ya hemos adquirido unas costumbres. Empezamos a creer que
estamos bien donde estamos. Después de todo, se estaba tan bien aquí como enfrente.
