Fear And Being COMFORTABLE
Most people are so scared, have so much fear of the unknown, or in other words, like their comfort zones so much, that You can tell them and convince them of almost anything that seems to threaten that comfort.
So, for example, You can convince them that going to war in a foreign country is a good idea. Giving them a reason that it is threatening their “good time”.
We have become sedated to such an extent, that we have lost the ability to think logically about anything.
Our thought process is as follows:
When it brings us more comfort, pleasure and numbing = good.
When it brings us challenges and growth = bad.
This is not true.
The human mind is conditioned to keep us safe. And that is a good function sometimes, in moderation.
But if You take it to extremes You get PC culture, a society that is driven by comfort, and the suppression of what is (sometimes pain).
Not everything in this life is pleasant, safe or even comfortable.
If we want change it’s going to be uncomfortable, for a while.
The thing with this life is that it doesn’t like extremes. It will bring a counterforce to battle extremes every time.
