Cold shower is no real discomfort. Real discomfort is the feeling of helplessness when things are beyond one’s control.

> feeling of helplessness when things are beyond one’s control

Not to get philosophical, but Stoicism (and many philosophies) go over this. Man's Search for Meaning is an example of the importance of how one reacts in the face of things beyond their control.

get very cold and take a hot shower, that's real discomfort :)
