Actually it's pure neurobiology. It's about training tge Cingulate Cortex, which does the calculus regarding the worth/return of spending effort on something. We trained it daily with the means of our choices: towards freedom and peace or towards cowardness and lack of principles. That's why Stoics are so genius and real in modern days like in Antiquity. And not just them, but also Christian heremits and other wise man throughout history.

Marcus Aurelius did NOT write these. Also ChatGPT responses and Stoicism do not mix.

J. Herald Christ :
It’s like choosing to exercise. Most certainly you will be uncomfortable as you tear your muscles, the growth and strength come through the pain afterwords but this is the pain and discomfort that you choose and it is a reward because you can literally see and experience growth through the pain. Life is guaranteed to be hard and uncomfortable because it involves constant change for growth, the trick is choosing it as opposed to being a victim of it.

Amor Fati is not a stoic philosophy. Nietzsche idea.

Comfort *can* be peaceful, and is. We must first define the context of “comfort”- temporary rest or is it a sabbatical after years of struggle and achievement? Or is it generational, luxurious or escaping battles of some kind? Generalizations simplified for short form messaging must be challenged for context

Too many people in the world have found comfort at the expense of others.

If there is a known reward at the end, is it truly discomfort?

This truth didn’t originate with man but from God. The reason Jesus said that if you wish to follow me you must deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow me. The king of peace didn’t come to make your lives easier but be our peace in our sufferings. Just food for thought
