A lot of things in life are inconvenient. For instance:
Going to the bathroom
Doing Dishes
Folding Laundry
Getting Gas for your car
Making food
These things are inconvenient and I don't like doing them. Its rather unfortunate they are required... lame.
That's all :)
i was just thinking about that same thing!!
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, though, how much infinitely longer is the list of things that are convenient? Things we take for granted living in 2010. Heck, let's just look at how different things are with the small list you made:
ReplyDeleteGoing to the bathroom - We have toilets. Automatic one flush toilets. And toilet paper! Soft toilet paper. What did they use back then, a sick rat? Papyrus? And guess where they did it? Sitting on an immensely uncomfortable wall with their butt hanging over the side. We even have air freshener!
Doing Dishes - We have an automatic dishwasher. With soap! And even in homes without a dishwasher, how much easier is it to wash a simple cyramic or glass dish than whatever they used? Rocks, I guess. Or wooden utensils that you were sure to get splinters from. What's that, mom? A chicken bone? Nope! It's a shard of wood lodged in your throat.
Folding Laundry - A washer and a dryer! They had maybe two pairs of clothes if they were lucky. And they just walked into a dirty river. Um, uncle Denny? You still smell like ox manure.
Getting Gas for your car - A car! That runs on oil! What is oil?! And what's wrong with your funny looking donkey?! How are you going to drive that in the middle of a sand dune?
Making food - Refrigerator! Oven! Stove! MICROWAVE! Dinner time! It's manna and salmon for the record 8,319th straight night! Huzzah!
Yeah, we all hate doing stupid little monotonous activities over and over again. But at the same time, things aren't really an inconvenience if it's merely a small side effect of the bigger picture invention that made the act a billion times more convenient.
I like you Justin
ReplyDeleteI couldn't do that to Brad. Well, I could, but I won't.
