This is such a great read. My parents are simple people from Pakistan who are now American Citizens. My dad is a son of Farmer and would save eggshells, banana peels etc. I thought it was funny that they do that, but this article made me realize how normal and relatable they are . It also shows how as a human race doing the right thing is always the right thinG no matter how laughable and stupid it looks.
I love this piece too. Discomfort isn’t always the right thing of course for every person in every moment. We all need rest. But comfort as an end goal is spiritually unhealthy - and is definitely feeding this idea in our culture that we can’t even expose ourself to ideas we disagree with.
An ability to tolerate discomfort is critical in any endeavor, in any relationship. If change necessarily triggers discomfort, then let's get used to discomfort, for to live is to change.
Well said, Madeline Pannell!
