Why aught this

I hold all my truths to be a nuisance.
 I hold all my shortcomings to be a riddle.  
Through smoke and fog of plenty I am blinded to that which I should fear but in pride I do not. 
Comfort is a great hubris. 
 What distracts that which we deam pleasurable?
 What cause can awake us.
 Does it always have to be horrible?
