Found this in an article a couple years ago:
"...we err in presuming convenience is always good, for it has a complex relationship with other ideals that we hold dear. Though understood and promoted as an instrument of liberation, convenience has a dark side. With its promise of smooth, effortless efficiency, it threatens to erase the sort of struggles and challenges that help give meaning to life. Created to free us, it can become a constraint on what we are willing to do, and thus in a subtle way it can enslave us."
- turbinerneiter 6y agoI totally see this in myself, where I get angry when something isn't easy, or something needs maintenance. If that gets channelled in building the tools to improve it, it's positive, but if you have already gotten lazy, you will just not do the work. /edit: don't misunderstand this as calling everyone who has a housekeeper lazy - there is many good reasons for it
