 Comfort meaning "with strength" of course. People too often use comfort to describe laziness and complacency. Comfort allows us to "so stand fast in the Lord, dearly beloved". 
 right? the word "fort" in there seems like it should relate to strength, and "com" means "with" lol!

this laziness "comfort" is really "with weakness"

no, the word "comfort" as a verb "don't comfort his folly" literally means to reinforce

the original meaning of comfort was "you worked your butt off and now you can rest" 
 My eyes have failed me.  I've seen your icon for weeks and thought I was looking at a photo of an old guy with a beard.  I just clicked on your post to see your whole feed and it is a cat.  Now all I can see is a cat.  I can't believe my eyes were seeing an old man with a beard.  I think I am the one getting old. 
 🤣🤣 
 well, my eyes started failing me very suddenly recently and it's dibeetus... i have had to radically change my diet
