That's such an interesting perspective... I have a few questions though. I don't understand. Why would you want to not be comfortable? Isn't that what nearly everyone is working for? To not be hungry. To have a nice house. To buy the latest gadgets and entertainment? You just stated that you didn't want to bend it to your will. That you don't want comfort. So why bend it then? And to answer your question, the point would be that there's no way in hell that it's possible to change that much of the world within the 60-100 years I have. You say that as if it's simple. In the 20 years I've been alive, I haven't found a single person that I find genuinely interesting. And most people I interact with don't care for what I say. Or are communicating with me because they need to for some reason. With no point or objective, there's literally no reason to do anything. Except for comfort/pleasure, which you just stated that "Life does not exist in". You state: "I am working on changing the world I live in and not just for me, but so that it's a better place for other people too." but that lacks a why. So they can help other people? If so, then it's just an endless chain of futile pointless work. I just can't see the logic behind all this. Don't live in comfort so you change the world for people who aren't you, in order for them to live in comfort which they shouldn't, so they can change the world for the next group of people? That makes no sense whatsoever.Life does not exist in comfort, but in overcoming or resolving conflict. For me, surrounding myself with stuff I enjoy very much is the problem.
Why escape when one has opportunities to bend the world to one's will?
If you're being ignored by the people you are currently interacting with, perhaps a change in your social circle might be good too.
From your comments, you seem to feel that there must be a point, or an objective to be accomplished. This is something that I don't subscribe to.
I never wrote that I don't want to be comfortable. All the things you mention are things that people feel they do not have at that point in their lives. This is not what I wrote. If you choose to read it in this fashion, by all means. It is simple. It is not easy. Simple and easy are different words with different, though often convergent meanings. So what? There are still things you can do. It's easy and very comfortable to sit back and criticize things. It takes real effort to feel alive. That's the point I'm making. You're 20 years old. That is really young to have everything all figured out. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd much rather live my way than yours.I don't understand. Why would you want to not be comfortable?
