Convenience is the mother of both: good and evil
Who doesn't like convenience in life? It's not only about the materialistic side; even some people weigh relationships in terms of personal ease. In due process: comfort, satisfaction, disrespect and health hazard play a vital role. Many people, for a trouble-free life, do not hesitate to utilise their loved ones during their needs. Later, when their requirement gets over, they treat them disrespectfully.Inventions and discoveries are a continuous process. Let's take the example of an air conditioner, microwave oven, refrigerator and many more. Keeping them in mind, the conveniences received from the mentioned appliances come with severe health issues. Still, infinite people have become slaves of such inventions. Some people desire to go to a gym rather than go for a brisk walk and do some freehand exercises. Not just this, many males and females believe in gossiping, sleeping, watching movies and binging but avoid doing their household chores. They prefer to hire full-time domestic help, which is more convenient than doing it themselves. In return, they become prone to diseases. Having a helper need not make a physically fit person idle, but if it happens so, then the convenience completely ruins the physical condition of a normal human being. The computer is another example that has made gaining knowledge hassle-free, but such a dependency has badly impacted libraries and made people lazy too.
Presently, in most families, there are working couples. It becomes convenient for them to request the parents, either the wife or husband, to stay with them to look after their child. The grandparents' presence makes the couple's life easy, and it helps to develop a bond between the grandchild and grandparents. Unfortunately, some such arrangements had a selfish motive. The day child grows up and wants to enjoy privacy, soon after, parents start feeling that their child can manage all alone. Thus, their parents seem to become burdens. Nowadays, such a situation is rampant. Such conditions and sick mentality have given birth to numerous homes for aged people. Even in many families, a non-working unmarried lady receives awful treatment despite her selfless service to the family members in the absence of her parents.
Thus, convenience has impacted human lives both in positive and negative ways. It is up to human beings to analyse the pros and cons of it and uphold the positives. The author Bodie Thoene rightly said: "What is right is often forgotten by what is convenient."
