The World is an Uncomfortable Place

The world is an uncomfortable place on purpose. The Lord made it so for us. Ever since we ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, the world has been this way.

We have tried to make ourselves comfortable: We cut down trees and build houses to protect from the elements. We run our water until it's warm before splashing our faces. We build factories that produce products entirely designed to improve our comfort in the world.

The Lord, however, had made our world completely self-correcting. All of our production from factories, all of our waste, it alters the environment. We burn fuel to cool our houses and be comfortable, but the burning of that fuel contributes to the warming of our Earth.

In the end, we have not escaped our discomfort, only made it more inescapable. It's the same mistake that we have made over and over again as written in the Bible, as if we are unable to learn from our failures. We are uncomfortable in this world, we turn anywhere but to the Lord to try to ease our comfort, and in the end, we get burned.
