It&#8217;s one of those that we know the meaning of, but can&#8217;t put into words particularly well. So let&#8217;s start with getting on the same page with the meaning, I&#8217;m going for the third entry in Websters: a philosophical and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like to occasionally examine my comfort in life in different areas, especially socially and professionally. And it&#8217;s not because I want to make sure I&#8217;m nice and comfy &#8211; quite the opposite. If I&#8217;m not pushing my comfort zone in these areas then I&#8217;m not growing.

Vacations I spent my first significant time out of the country. And loved it. I don&#8217;t know that I&#8217;ll be satisfied with 1 or 2 week [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today the Oakland Athletics won the American League West. There are so many cool things about this, I don&#8217;t know where to start. I guess we&#8217;ll start at the beginning of the season. Going into the season, the Texas Rangers have played in back to back World Series, had a $121 million dollar payroll, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Memory is a funny thing. Some people remember everything from a decade ago crystal clear. Others can&#8217;t remember where they parked their car an hour ago. Of course a certain amount of memory can be trained.

		<description><![CDATA[Starbucks is one clever company. I have been impressed by their promotions: like donating $5 to create US jobs for every pound of coffee purchased. I have been impressed by their fearless embrace of new technology: like signing up to process all credit card payments with Square. And I have been impressed by how deeply [...]]]></description>

You could consider these people lazy for not gathering enough information to make an informed decision. You could consider these people illogical for jumping to a conclusion immediately.
