Comfort is great. But without adventure, endurance, pain, suffering, loss, sacrifice, change, or any kind of journeying and soul searching, we won't recognise comfort as such. And we surely cannot stay in one place of comfort for too long, otherwise what will we learn in life? About ourselves and our own strengths and capacities?
Life is like a pendulum. It swings in one direction and then the other, depending on inner and outer workings. But if you focus too intently on this moving yet directionless time recorder, you may become hypnotized; and sleepwalk so much through life that even if the pendulum stops moving and is in dead center, you may barely notice.
A story filled with love, heart, integrity, trained and worked-for-teachings, suffering, endurance, and understanding of the needs of a nourishing soul - this story is, like a person, worth telling respectfully, and worth remembering for thousands of generations, as long as the earth moves and lives.
