My mind is going.

[Thunderembargo]

Nobody ever created anything worthwhile from a position of comfort.

This principle would be well worth analyzing, extrapolating and developing.   It would seem that the entire western world (and insofar as the rest of the world follows the west, everybody else as well) is leaning towards the soft, ease and lethargy of sagging flesh, heart disease, diabetes, skin cancer, general atrophe, exhaustion...........all in the name of 'comfort.'    The very effort of maintaining a decent, upstanding and forward life require a kind of steady vigilance which is instilled through discipline and has nothing to do with this shallow configuration of material provision.
