Value truth over comfort from "summary" of Beyond Order by Jordan B. Peterson
To live properly, you must value truth above all else. This is not an easy task, for truth often brings discomfort. It requires confronting the unknown, the uncertain, and the painful. It demands that you face your fears and insecurities head-on, rather than retreating into the safety of ignorance or denial. Comfort, on the other hand, is easy to come by. It is the path of least resistance, the soothing balm that numbs the pain of reality. But comfort is a shallow and fleeting pleasure, a temporary respite from the harsh truths of existence. It is a poor substitute for the deep satisfaction that comes from living in alignment with reality.
When you prioritize comfort over truth, you sacrifice your integrity and your autonomy. You become a slave to your desires and your fears, unable to see the world as it truly is. You may find temporary relief in the illusions you create for yourself, but in the long run, you will only suffer the consequences of your self-deception.
To value truth over comfort is to embrace the challenges of life with courage and humility. It is to accept the inherent uncertainty and chaos of the world, and to find meaning and purpose in the face of adversity. It is to seek out the uncomfortable truths that lie beyond your current understanding, and to grow stronger and wiser as a result.
In the end, the choice is yours to make. Will you cling to the comforting illusions that shield you from reality, or will you embrace the difficult truths that set you free? The path of comfort may be tempting, but the path of truth is the only one that leads to a life worth living.
