Comfort: Wandering Thought #227:
We were all first uncomfortable, with what we are now comfortable with. As toddlers, we were uncomfortable crawling, standing, walking, running, falling. Later, we were uncomfortable being disciplined by parents and teachers. Yet, these discomforts shaped us to be the better people we now are. This is why we should constantly go beyond our comfort zones, even as ‘grown-ups’. Think of it not so much as going towards the uncomfortable, but to expand our comfort zones – till we become comfortable, at ease with the realities of the world. Seeing things as they truly are, in all their complexities is how we will learn to best respond, with compassion and wisdom.
