Personal Scarifice for the comfortable Life we have now

I completely agree, but many people have reached a point where they feel comfortable—and there’s nothing wrong with that. Different strokes for different folks. This is often because asking questions can disrupt established norms, even straining relationships with those closest to us. Consider how a simple question like, "Why should Earth be the center of the universe?" not only shook the foundations of one of the world’s largest and most powerful entities—the Roman Church—but also helped ignite the Renaissance and lay the groundwork for the modern scientific temper.

We owe much of the modern world to the Renaissance, but its roots trace back to that singular, radical thought. Yet, challenging prevailing beliefs came with a heavy cost. Copernicus became a constant pariah, always on the run, never able to truly call any place home. Galileo, after bravely defending the heliocentric theory, was driven to insanity under the relentless pressure of the Church’s persecution.

Real thinking—the kind that drives meaningful progress—is rarely easy. Many of the solutions we now take for granted were born of immense personal sacrifice. Figures like Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Einstein, Darwin, and even Marx faced hardship, rejection, and resistance as they reshaped the world. Their contributions changed the course of history, but the journey was often as painful as it was transformative.

Just a thought.

My Original Comment

Completely agree but I suppose lot of people have got to a state where they are comfortable. And there is noting wrong with it. Different strokes for different folks. Questions many times rattle the existing norms. It was a simple thought of why earth should be middle of universe that rattled one of the largest and certainly the strongest "empire" Roman Pope. We due lot of the world we live in because of the Renaissiance. But it all started with that simple thought "is earth the center of universe". Though it gets more nasty Copernicus was a vagabond for whole ofhis life and the great XXX was made insane courtesy Roman Church. Thinking and real though is not easy and for many of solutions we have have costed much pain. Be it Corrnicus/Galilieo/Newton, Einstein or Darwin or even Marx.
