I don't like this question/category much. Does one actually aspire to a cushy life?

I think I stand with Nietzche on this when he dismissed Xtianity as a slave religion whose highest aspiration is to rest on Sunday. He got that right. The aspiration to a cushy life -- were we rate nothing higher than comfort and want to get without giving -- is also the aspiration of slaves or infants and unworthy of a mature human being.

(Now Chuck can bite my head off.)
