The belief in the ‘easy way’ is one of the greatest pieces of fiction mankind has ever created.

I cannot calculate nor attempt to manage sacrifice, for to do so is to attempt to sacrifice comfortably. And it is in the attempt to sacrifice comfortably that I begin to realize that the desire for comfort is in reality the demand that I put myself first, and there is nothing of sacrifice in that.

Comfort is not a goal that I seek, rather it is a place that I hide.

It’s not about describing someone as that’s typically an attempt to make whatever they are comfortable for whoever we are. Instead, we may wish to skip the agenda of the description and embrace the wonder of the person.

The goal of comfort is at the self-same time the abandonment of great accomplishments.

Comfort is a stance of avoidance rather than the pursuit of excellence.

Mediocrity is a path cleared by fear, leveled by apathy and paved by comfort.

To take the ‘easy way’ is to walk a path that doesn’t exist to the edge of a cliff that does.
