Comfort is a Choice, Not a Default

Maximizing comfort and security often leads individuals to adopt a passive approach to life, relying on societal support when faced with challenges. This modern egalitarian mindset promotes weakness, encouraging avoidance of discomfort and a dependency on others for reassurance. Nietzsche, however, argues that both comfort and suffering are inherent aspects of life, and choosing solely comfort reflects a slave morality that limits one's potential. Embracing discomfort is essential for growth, contrasting with the notion that passivity and dependence are acceptable responses to life's difficulties. This perspective culminates in Nietzsche's idea of the 'last man,' who represents the culmination of this limiting mindset.
