Comfort is a killer nowadays, especially in the west.

Most people around me dull themselves with the satisfaction that comes from mindlessly consuming snacks, games and screens and drugs.

His quote wouldn't be as prescient in an age of motivated handworkers, but in a generation bereft of concepts like hard work, it rings true.

In my environment, satisfaction (in its smug nihilism) is a cancer which has metastasized into an NPC's death sentence. Its turned lions into sheep, sheep into food, and, a video game, netflix, tik tok, uber eats, alcohol and weed combo, into the meaning of life.
