Do not select to be in comfort.

Comfort is just another name of the word laziness. The people who crave comfort are, actually, lazy. A quote says “comfort makes you weak” which is absolutely correct. Since laziness can weaken a person, likewise, comfort; which is a brother of laziness; can weaken a person. Comfort is a state where you keep yourself far away from danger. It’s normal for the brain to do so. For instance, if there is fire on your street and you are being late for your school and you will, for sure, decide to stay home and avoid danger; or while you touch a hot tea, you pull back your hands to avoid danger. The brain wants to keep the body and the brain safe. Since thinking is an undesirable task for the brain, and a better way would be to avoid thinking and be safe. That’s what the brains does to us and we obey it and accept ourselves to be the slaves of our worldly desires. As it is said that “majority is coward” it is because they are not that brave to fight their ego. They cannot dare to fight their comfort desire. We usually accept things that people tell us, specifically if the give a slight reason and logic, the brains tries to avoid danger for its comfort and you try to agree whatever the person says. You do not want to ruin the state of your comfort and you accept whatever is said. This happens when you support the majority. The reason you support the majority is because it is in majority not that it is truth. The majority have agreed not to ruin their comfort and have become supporters of majority. This is where the enemies of your nation benefits from your nation. The holy prophet of Islam defeated their rivals and Kuffar which was called Jihad. But he included that great war, where many people were killed, a minor Jihad and he expressed the major Jihad as the Jihad withing ourselves. If we really want to complete the command of Jihad of the God, we must perform the major Jihad. It is because the battle which is within you makes you stronger and harder than you are before. If you lie your life in comfort, you will not be strong, you will not be able to fight situations, and solve problems. A poor boy is a hundred times stronger than a rich boy. Islam command us to better than our yesterday, to complete this command we must say no to comfort. Staying in comfort cannot make your day better than yesterday. As quoted “straight roads do not make skillful drivers” we can imagine that we must bear hardships to grow ourselves and make our day better than yesterday.
