The Danger of Comfort
- The Boiling Frog.
If you throw a frog into boiling water,
it will jump out immediately, sensing the danger.
But if placed in lukewarm water and slowly heated,
it remains unaware until it's too late.
This is known as the boiling frog phenomenon,
a metaphor for how comfort can blind us
to growing danger.
We, too, fall into this trap.
We get comfortable, ignoring small warning signs.
We tell ourselves, "It's fine. I'll deal with it later."
But life doesn't wait.
When we're stuck in routine and stagnation,
all that awaits us is death.
Ask yourself:
Do you live to eat, or eat to live?
Is your body truly you,
and can you live forever in it?
Those who seek the true purpose of life and Truth
will encounter the era of human completion
and have the chance to walk the path toward Truth.
By striving to detach from the self,
they will recover their true nature,
transcending the finite body
that endlessly craves comfort.
Are you like the frog,
slowly boiling in your comfort zone
without realizing the danger?
Are you justifying your life by saying,
"This is just how it is?" or
"This is all there is to life"?
Step out of that false sense of comfort.
Save yourself from danger,
and find your true self.
