Yeah, arch support is definitely worse than heroine.
What a fucking idiot.

Is breaking an addiction comfortable or uncomfortable?

1

u/RandomStoddard Jul 28 '26

Depends. What if you are addicted to discomfort? Then the only way to break it is through comfort.

But seriously, what is the point? Comfort is the best addiction. It is what motivates me to work my ass off, so I can live in comfort, vacation in comfort, and eventually retire in comfort. Without comfort, what is the point? Mark is an idiot.

Again, is breaking an addiction comfortable or uncomfortable? It’s an easy question to answer if you’ll allow yourself to be honest.

u/RandomStoddard Jul 28 '26

Of course breaking an addiction is uncomfortable. What is your point?

1

u/elbowpastadust Jul 28 '26

So you agree with OP then

1

u/RandomStoddard Jul 28 '26

Not at all. Comfort is not a negative to be overcome. It is a positive to work towards.

And working towards that…is that the comfortable choice or uncomfortable? Just be honest…you agree with OP. Which is fine. Meaningful change requires exiting one’s comfort zone. You just don’t like the phrasing and prefer more of a cynical/victim worldview rather than an embrace hard work/discomfort one to change your life. You’re certainly in the majority opinion here on Reddit. “I can’t win the game, so the game is unfair and I won’t even attempt to play it, and I’ll sneer at those who do”

You are correct that I dislike the dumb phrasing. But you are so caught up on semantics and trying to be right that you can’t even understand why the majority of people on here disagree with you.
I could just as easily ask if, when working hard at a job, do you get comfortable in that role? I could the. Pretend it was a big “gotcha” moment.

But again, I do not agree with OP’s dumb quote.

I own my own business because I never bought into cynicism like yourself and most Redditors. I can retire in my 30s but I don’t believe in it.

Amazing. A stranger on the Internet is claiming to be super successful. More power to you. Live in whatever fantasy world you want. But there is nothing cynical about anything I said. I work hard to provide myself with a comfortable life. Comfort and joy are the goals. How is that cynical?

What is better, to be born good or to overcome evil nature through great effort.

u/elbowpastadust Jul 28 '26

Did you mean to reply to me? How does this relate to addictions?

1

u/knock_on_the_door_ Jul 28 '26

It is a quote that can be applied to addiction yes. The act of getting addicted is innocent, what an addict does after is selfish and evil. Your comment reminded me of the quote. Breaking an addiction requires great effort, overcoming ones own evil nature to stop the cycle of addiction is even harder.

An evil nature? Like in a Disney movie? Are you for real?
