Too hot, too cold

 Too hot, too cold

Yesterday I went out for a picnic with my friends. It was hot, 35 degrees Celsius. felt like more than that. Though we met late in the afternoon, the weather was still sultry. We sat in a park for just two hours and came back. 

I thought to myself, here we are, waiting for the summer to come so we can go out without wearing layers of clothes to avoid cold, and come summer , we find it too hot. In winters it’s too cold. 

Human beings are never satisfied. This has been both a boon and bane for us. If we had been satisfied, all the scientific advances we made, architectural monuments we created wouldn’t have been there. In fact, becoming a food gatherer from food hunter was the first sign of our dissatisfaction with our state. Homo sapiens were always finding ways to improve their life. Today the humanity has all the comforts. The kind of life we enjoy was not available to even the richest in ancient times. And yet we are the most dissatisfied today.

That is our bane. Our dissatisfaction has affected our perspective. We have houses with manicured lawns but don’t sit there as it’s too hot. We go to the gym and walk on a track there but don’t walk on the trail as there are mosquitoes. Even if try to do this, we don’t have time. 

Human beings are so busy making a living that they now forget to live. Earning a living is a necessity, yes, living is too. 

So do we stop earning? No , not at all. But we can create a balance.
