How comfortable is your comfortable life?

Does burnout subdue empathy
Drawing by Adrian Serghie

   Do you believe your life is the best it can be? Do you want it to be better? Why or why not?

   There are people that get into a certain point in life, which they enjoy and they want to live in that state their whole life, and there are also people that enjoy their lives, but they feel that something is missing. They want something more meaningful, but they don’t pursue it because they don’t want to lose what they have now or they don’t really know what they want.

   Sometimes and for certain people comfort is not enough because it doesn’t fulfill them. It’s just a good state they’re in, but that state is not complete. In my opinion, this is a sign that their lives are not at their best. It’s doesn’t mean that those people are not grateful for what they have nor that they want to give up to something they have. It just means that they want more or something different. Like an incomplete puzzle.

   Fear has its way to keep us in this comfortable uncomfortable state. We like what we have and we’re afraid that we go for something else we might lose that, but we don’t like that there are things/states we don’t have/experience. This psychological state is not easy to handle because we feel guilty about the fact that we’re not grateful enough for the life we have and we feel guilty that we want more, but in the same time, we feel guilty if we don’t pursue what we sometimes think we deserve.

   So how comfortable is your comfortable life?
