Today's convenience may become inconvenient tomorrow
Convenience or inconvenience. These are relative words. What is convenient today may be inconvenient tomorrow for us. What is convenient for me, maybe an inconvenience for others.Our MD was using a Maruti 800 car when he started the company. After a few years, he stopped using that car and purchased a Benz car. While travelling with him in his Benz car, he used to tell us how inconvenient it is to travel in a Maruti 800 car.
During my high school days, there was no power connection to our house. So, we were using kerosene lights for reading. There were no fans and we were using hand fans. Those days we were feeling very convenient with hand fans only. After we got an electrical connection and fans, using a hand fan has become very inconvenient. After a few years, we have an AC in our house and we felt very inconvenient to sleep under a fan, we are happy in the AC room only. During my education days, I used to go by foot to college. I used to feel jealous of people who were coming on a bicycle. I used to feel that going by bicycle is very convenient. After I started using a bicycle, I used to think it was very inconvenient and a motorcycle is very convenient.
A poor man may feel very convenient to sleep on the roadside after having a piece of bread as his dinner. But a rich man may feel very inconvenient to sleep in a room with a fan even on a smooth bed after having a good dinner.
As we grow up and as we become more financially sound our requirements to feel convenient will change. Convenience or inconvenience is a feeling and it will change based on our mindset. A satisfied person will feel convenient with whatever he/she is having and he/she will lead a happy life with whatever facilities he/she has.
