Oh, yeah, hardship wasn't exactly my point. What I ment is that it's too comfortable to forget about your mind in everything that's sort of known or available right now. Imagine yourself in 1800, right? You've done some work around the house, you've chopped some wood, you went into the house, had a dinner, now what: you sit in front of the fire with your pipe in your mouth thinking about tomorrow, about your relatives, about life. You're not busy, because right now you're doing nothing. Now lets go back to the present time, you came home from work, bought some groceries on the way, cooked some rice & chicken, drank some OJ, opened youtube/tv/videogame/magazine and started doing stuff, which is nothing really. So now you're too busy doing nothing, instead of "exploring your mind". Do you know what I mean? It's like there's too many distractions nowadays then they were.
