push the limits of your comfort

we fill our heads with distractions so that we can avoid looking at the world (playing music that says stupid things)
we invest so much money and resources into creating increasingly elaborate distractions- big budget movies, vacation resorts, entire virtual experiences that remove us further from the ugly, sad, boring truth
when a beggar asks us for money, we ignore them and continue on our way
we dumb things down to relate to other people, because we all want to have things in common and create bonds- talking about obvious things like the weather, telling stupid stories
we mollify our guilt by reading articles or watching documentaries to exapnd our horizons, and we get riled up momentarily, express our outrage to our equally intellectual and conscious friends, then continue about our daily life because it is easier
we accept the priviledges that have been unfairly awarded to us at birth
we are creating a society that is more and more comfortable, making us lazier and causing us to think less and easier to control


i want to push my comfort level everyday in different senses:
physically- taking the stairs, letting my stomach get hungry
mentally- reading material that makes my brain work to exercise it even when it is lazy
emotionally- saying things that i would not normally say out loud, not being passive, not holding back
disciplinarily- creating goals and deadlines that i keep, to strengthen my willpower

try to filter out the fluff in life, do not be scared of experiencing the hard life, try to see things for how the really are.
