Are We Living in a Comfort Era

That makes sense. Comfort can support growth, but it can also slow it down if people stop challenging themselves. It seems like balance is the key, but that balance is harder to maintain when comfort is always available.
I agree. The solution might be intentionally creating discomfort in controlled ways, like exercise, learning new skills, or setting difficult goals. That way, people can still grow without giving up the benefits of modern life.
