Spending enormous money and time for comforts in life has become the order of the day. But the extent of problems great many people undergo is due to this extensive love for comforts.

·         Discuss it.

Man’s comfort quotient has always been on the rise; so is the extent of his problems. In fact, the more his love for comfort is, the more the extent of problems he confronts. Let me discuss this dichotomy.

Man craves for comforts and he craves for newer comforts. For example, there was a time when man found his life worth living if he had a little entertainment via TV, a land phone, a moderate income, a little socializing with his near and dear ones. But today, what he is flooded with are explosion in real time technology, 3G and 4G communication tools, TV channels from around the world and an array of appliances to keep him comfortable. All these comforts aside, he is still prepared to spend for more comfortable.

Do these things of comfort keep him free from problems? Actually, they do not; rather his problems get aggravated. For example, there is a list of diseases, which are mocking at all the medical systems across the world, called lifestyle disorders. They are his creations.  Secondly, the ubiquitous time poverty he faces today is the byproduct of his love for more. So, is the case with shortages like water, energy and fuels. For example, our personal cars are threatening the Planet but their number is on the rise as part of our comforts. More are the conveniences so are the inconveniences. 

The discussion makes it clear that there is close relation between the comfort quotient man enjoys today and the discomfort he undergoes. They seem to be more than proportional. In my opinion, a successful life is one that keeps the right balance between what life offers and what one’s life needs.
