Lately, by which I mean the last fortnight or so, I have succumbed to the trappings of easy street. Like many before me, I have fallen into the so called 'comfortable' life. The 'comfortable' life is a life where one might work a stable well paid nine to five job, eat the fruits of its labour, and take a vacation every now and then. It is epitomised by ideals such as education, career, marriage, children, material possessions, and finally, death.
Living a normal or 'comfortable' life only conforms to society's expectations. People are addicted to certainty. The trap is that it does not inspire risk taking or excellence.

Too many people I know are getting sucked in. This is where you may have a full time job, stable relationship, but no real happiness. Not much more going on in life except work and the daily grind. I see it in a lot of people aged between 25-60. Don't let that happen. Life is there to be enjoyed.
I, myself, must work to break through the 'comfortable' life. Ignoring tiredness by being constantly active. Ignoring vain status by doing the unconventional. Ignoring the normality of it all. After all, the best life I can live is the extraordinary.
Living only in subsistence is a violation of growth.
