Men Do Not Need Comfort

KEY: No one who sinks hours of his life into rest and comfort feels rested or comforted. When was the last time you felt rested or comforted by a Netflix binge?

Comfort is the enemy of progress.

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28
Comfort tells you that where you currently are is “good enough”.

Only the weak use the phrase “good enough”. Comfort is deception. Comfort is the weakness of Man telling him that he has no need to work. We should not seek comfort, for it provides no growth of character. It provides no increase to the strength of the mind, it only breaks man down, weakening him and his foundation. 

We typically seek comfort after a long day as a respite from what we think is the brutality of the world. Are we as men too weak to face up to the day? Are we children, that we should be driven about by emotion? Or are we Men who are able to bear the whole world on our shoulders? 

Comfort is for the weak, do not chase after it. Not only is comfort for the weak, but it is an illusion. 

KEY: No one who sinks hours of his life into rest and comfort feels rested or comforted.

When was the last time you felt rested or comforted by a Netflix binge? Does watching football for six hours on Saturday make you feel better in the long run? Or are these just temporary fixes to the immediate problems in your life. You come out of these “comforts” feeling worse than before, groggy, and like you wasted a chunk of your life. This comfort seeking mechanism is a disgrace to mankind. 

Learn to make your work the thing that comforts you. The Spartan Christian needs no rest. 

Mantra

My work is my comfort.

Application

Get a productive hobby. This is the best way to combine genuine rest with the type of productivity that actually improves your life instead of wasting it. Get a musical instrument and learn to play it. Buy some tools and build furniture. Get some weights and train your mind and body simultaneously. 

Physical training is one of the best options you have. It provides you a break from your work while also giving you the benefits of a sharper mind and fitter physical body. There are ways to rest and recover without going into a vegetative state. Find those ways and make them happen. 

Conduct yourselves like Men.
