Comfort

posted by ryan

Comfort is the feeling which we all seek. Regardless who we are and across the globe, we all seek comfort of feeling pleasurable and contentment thus accounting for the entertainment, self-reward after a day’s of hard work etc.

Comfort is what the key to what differentiates the wealthy and the poor.

People who are poor live in an illusion of their own, feeling and being contented with what they have and never will take steps walk out from own misleading impression of reality. Going home everyday after work, or school only thinking of how it is like to live in a better house. What does it feels like to have a room of their own, example if they are living in a one room flat; they will move to three room flat etc, upgrade and expand their comfort zone.

Poor as they may seems to be, but all of them have a inner desire that seeks a better environment but numerous discouraging experiences from their peers have caused their downfall, submitting to fate and destiny without even fighting to get what they deserved.

Being poor means to live is a unreal precedence of comfort, lying not only to themselves, their family members and even their children to stay within the family, don’t do anything more, just be contented with having three meals a day.

Contentment comes from the fear of having to meet nasty experiences and setbacks again which are obstacles to people and people who are weak mentally will trip, fall and never be able to learn to stand up and continue walking. Like a spoilt brat seeking attention from the caregiver wanting to be coax into taking the next step like a baby learning to walk when he/she is crawling.

There’s only a limit to how much a caregiver can offer to the baby, anything else extra not within the abilities of the caregiver will require the baby’s own efforts to learn and get it him/herself. It is the same like government who never fails to provide food to the poor acting like a caregiver, but by doing so, they are not allowing the baby to grow and pick up a skill which can help them gain independence. That kind of care as a caregiver is a form of negative practice of upbringing that everybody should change.

Instead of feeding the baby, why not put the food there, let the baby learn how to do it, teach them the skill. Gradually letting go of them encouraging them to stand on their own two feet, it’s identical to seeing a baby grow. But people just forget that it is a natural learning curve which everyone must go through and learn from it. If they fail, both the caregiver and the baby failed. If the caregiver does what is needed, but the baby refused to learn a skill to be independent, than the baby has only him/herself to blame.

Wealthy people grow and expand their wealth faster due to their desire to improve their living conditions increases and expand at the limit that surpass their success thus the wealthy are never happy with their homes and seek for bigger better homes. It’s good to have desires, but work positively towards it like the wealthy people.

Are you happy and comfortable with whatever you have currently?

“You can’t blame your parents for the environment you were born in but you will know who to blame when your child is born in an environment he/she dislike.”
