chapter 1

Comfort zone is right?

My curious right-thinking readers,

I could not understand why people did not stand for their own loving person.

They stayed silent or became more unbothered.

Hannah was a good person. Hannah was on a trip with her friends.

Hannah saw a discriminating thing on the trip, so Hannah decided to stand up for her friends, even though Hannah was afraid of speaking up against fifty people for a right thing.

Hannah told them that they are wrong. Hannah told them it is not fair.

Hannah was speaking these things with hands shivering, so Hannah hid her hand inside her pocket.

Hannah’s heart was beating so fast; inside Hannah there was a feeling of fear.

Hannah did not ask for help, but her inner child is looking for help.

Disappointment is the worst feeling, but if it comes from the people you love, trust, and spend your life with, it hurts so much.

Her friends, parents, sisters, cousins, etc., did not stand for her.

Hannah stands for everyone. Hannah did not expect them to stand for her.

Hannah did not stand for them so they will stand for her.

Hannah felt alone. Hannah thought they will stand for her, but they did not.

After hearing the story, I asked Hannah,

“What happened to you? Did you still stand up for right things?”

Hannah said yes. Hannah stands up for herself, which Hannah forgot when Hannah stood up for others.

Hannah stands up for herself.

Hannah said, “I deserved myself when no one deserved it.”

Hannah did not expect people will stand up for her, but Hannah was worried why people did not come from their comfort zone.

My dear curious readers, everyone believes that being in a comfort zone is harmless, peace, and happy, but it doesn’t.

If your comfort zone makes others hurt, it is not a comfort zone.

It is the zone which makes you the worst monster.

Monsters don’t have any humanity; honestly, they are made as bad persons.

Most people did not analyze their comfort zone.

It is like a slow poison and becomes addictive.

If you do not check your comfort zone, you will not get away from the bad quality.

Comfort zone does not make you feel it is not the right thing to do.

You feel safe… at what cost?
