they say comfort is the enemy of greatness...

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2012.09.17

They say comfort is the enemy of greatness. It's been a long time since I was acquainted with either. Living in interesting times, I guess.

That said, it's a blast to watch the four year old learn of his capabilities. He's proud to point to a particularly good painting that we framed, and say, "I'm the artist."

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

—Sigmund Freud
