The middle way, clearly.

>>3086451
Accept the hardness of life, only in the places you know you can't change them.

Don't accept them if you can.

>>3086445
Finding comfort in the hardness

Then find balance and use that wealth to try to help better society. Make artists grants, build museums, libraries, parks, invest in research. Dedicate yourself to humanity.

If you can be cofmy and soft then be comfy & soft. Who gives a shit. Comfiness is the priority always, do you think that fat tiger wants to hunt gazelles in the wild or does he want to spend the rest of his life lazing around sunbathing and eating free food?

At the end you die anyways, so at least you lived a comfortable life. What do you gain from a hard honest life? Absolutely nothing.

>a comfortable life makes you soft
This really doesn't matter if you're living in a modern industrial society. Strength and endurance are basically useless today aside from pure vanity.

live a comfortable life but do uncomfortable thing, training etc.

Animals never have a "reason" to live. It's all instinct. Stay alive, pass on genes to the next generation. It'd be true to humans, too, but we like to think too much.

live a comfortable life but challenge yourself (do the uncomfortable) so you can always pussy out and go back to comfort if you wish but you usually won't because a bit of stress/challenge feels nice.

post more overweight tigers

You should always try to push yourself as hard as possible. There's always problems, even if the problems change.

I think the main difference between now and "then" is that you won't just die if you don't work hard, which means you can afford to be lazy. And this is very problematic because there's still lots to be done.

challenge yourself and do uncomfortable things so when you comeback to the comfortable life you appreciate it more

>>3086445
A comfy life but where you are completely responsible for your station in life, i.e. libertarianism.
