Comfort in discomfort

Yesterday I was asked whether I take comfort in discomfort. I had to suppress laughing out loud, but obviously the question was considered a serious question.
Am I happier in unhappy situations? What sort of question is that, I wonder... but I think it is something worth reflecting on. Some people seem to go from one messed up situation into the next. Why is that? Are they just unlucky? Are they just a victim of chance? Or is there something underlying there?
I wonder if I can find some more literature on that.... interesting anyway.

My answer to the question? I have been known to listen to extremely sad (making me sad) music when I'm already down. Does that mean I'm unhappy to be happy? That I don't know the line between being unhappy for a bit and moving on, and dwelling? I don't know. I like to think that I try to be comfortable, and I am harmony-seeking. But I shall reflect further.

In the meantime... another song I'm a bit keen on right now. Enjoy!
