its a much more
convinient world now
as compared to 100 years ago
they say
its hard to see this
convinience
shine through
in people's
tired stressed lives though
how convinient is it
to do a 9 to 5
which one hates
pay taxes , bills
not to mention all
the paper filling
queues
the unending fine print of
bank accounts
insurance policies
Convenience by their own definition
is anything that is intended
to save resources (time, energy) or frustration
than traffic jams which every city dweller
faces these days
must be one of the prime examples
of Con-vinience
Someone is definitely getting Con-ned here
you have to get a job
pay taxes
get a car
pay roadtax
pay insurance
fill petrol
drive through red lights & traffic
all this to just get to
a place to buy food
is buying food in supermarket
convinient compared to a
small village shop of old ?
when you are
going around for an hour
in bright blinding lights
in arctic temperatures
( same refrigerator like temp
in all supermarkets all over the world )
to find your one little item
you definitely remember little shops
finally you get to the
crazily plastic-packed item
which will take half an hour to open
it would be
not fresh, full of unwanted chemicals
called preservatives
its as if all life has been
sucked out of it already
pasteurized decreamated ostricized
decalcisized ...
what one gets for all one's effort
these days
is just plain simple trash
100 years ago
one got fresh milk
from a trusted source in the village
without much hassle
all basics like air, water & food
were much easily accessible
not polluted
& much more full of life
earlier if one felt hot
one just went and sat under a tree
now you buy a fan
get the wiring done
pay electricity bill
get repairs done
all to get a blizzard in your face
nothing gentle about fans air
the amount of free time
for actually living
in todays world is close to zero
how convinient

Very true. There is nothing convenient about convenience - but the idea of it fosters a mindset where people expect things to be pre packaged and "easy." You wrote about this a while back, where you said people believed they had a right to whatever they wanted, and this was the cause of many of our current problems. It is so true - and that level of expectation that it will all be "easy" has untold consequences in pollution and exploitation. Somehow in this insane system the "convenience" of the plastic packaging, etc, outweighs considerations of dying animal populations, deforestation, oil spills, oceans of plastic debris and all the rest. I cannot speak for any other culture or people, but the white western culture I know is so carried away with their "convenience" I believe it will destroy them.

"convinience" is actually a con! that is so brilliant/funny!!!
it is so rocking to have the practicality, sensitivity, and honesty to see it for what it is and the generosity to share the insight.
i bow!
i bow! You are so brilliant P! the way You write ignites ones entire being! all one can do after reading Your words is cry out Yes and exclaim how amazing You are!
There is nothing convenient or right about the way people live today. You are the one to see all for what it is and sPeak of it with such candor and wit. Your suPreme intelligence and all gnoing eye sees through all the lies and all the cons.
i bow to the One who lives above of it all!
i bow
you're so very right
one has to do so much running around even for basic chores along with facing people who have a knack for wasting the time of others
this whole set up of society and its people is so inconvenient and time consuming
takes away so much of the time available for doing right actions
You write awesomely
wow ! You beautifully break down how inconvenient things actually are in muggle world ! i bow
i bow.
so true and so sad. i bow.
Nature has given us all. But people want to produce their own, they want to become the source. How stupid is that. I imagine how phun and simple and easy life would have been in those days when people used all natural and had all the senses awakened. I bow to PT. 🙏💛
Appalling how we've been conned by 'convinience'! It's crazy the amount of time/ energy/ effort that goes into a simple activity such eating. Adding to that is the headache of dealing with all the people that are cogs in keeping this convinience going! You uncomPlicaTe everything and show things for what they are! The system really needs a reset top down. You're so kind to be here and lead the way to better times. one bows to you shiv narayan
