Sages such as punk rockers, social scientists, Calvinist preachers, and New Agers have advised us to not prioritize comfort.
In
Well Paid Scientist, punk rocker Jello Biafra denounced comfort seeking with these lyrics: "The dark shattered underbelly of the American dream; Avoid it like the plague; It stares you from your bathroom mirror, drown!"
In
Finding Flow: The Psychology of Engagement with Everyday Life, social scientist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi argued satisfying work not comfort makes us happiest.
In
You Have One Life--Don't Waste It, Calvinist preacher John Piper condemned comfort seeking and he praised the glory of advancing a mission.
In
Past Fear and Doubt to Amazing Abundance: Secret Knowledge That Brought Me Self Actualization, New Ager Stephen Martin didn't exalt comfort, but observed "the greatest joy in life is living your life mission."
Still haters rebuke me when I seek mission instead of comfort. They say I lack gratitude, but I would like to think that these haters just don't understand the meaning of life. Advancing a mission is the meaning of life.
Thus I cannot feel happiest unless I'm advancing my First Amendment life mission and likewise no one else can feel happiest unless they are advancing their respective life mission.
