“Comfort Zones” is a play on words.  Comfort zones are those expectations that we wallow in in order to protect our true self.  Comfort zones stand in between the core of who we think we are and how we want the world to see us.

You know the drill.  You boarded your plane, everyone is in their seats, and the flight attendant stands in the isle and demonstrates a safety script.  ”In the case of emergency and the plane looses altitude, a mask will drop down….”

Every morning you wake it is an emergency and your first act is to dawn your mask.  We wear masks to protect our insecurities which are manifest of our comfort zones.  No one is perfectly secure, in fact those who think they are, are wearing a mask against him/herself.

They are in effect, their best worst enemy as they dawn the self perspective of fanciful fictional mysticism.  Perceptual fanciful fictional mysticism is the mind-set of “safe, secure, and protected” in a familiar world of aggregate insecurity:  inadequacy, inferiority, and insignificance.  If you think you are secure, safe,and protected in your world of regrets and disappointments please continue, for the hole you are digging  just gets deeper, and then and only then you may find out that whatever you have done up to now has not worked, so you need to do things differently.

After all the tears, self-pity, and self-criticism, your mask serves a purpose as all behavior is goal directed.  What other purpose could their be for getting down on yourself other than to keep you safe?  But are you truly safe?
