It's just human nature. It actually has a name. It's called a Normalcy Bias.

From Wikipedia "The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred that it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation".

The Normalcy Bias was the reason people went back to their staterooms aboard the Titanic. Even though the ship was listing heavily to one side and water was filling the lower decks people just thought "God can't even sink the Titanic" and they just wanted everything to be normal.

People hate change. It's normal. But it's coming. Like the second hand on the clock. It moves with or without any interference from anyone.
