Convenience paradox

"Pursuit of happiness" is presently conceived as pursuit of convenience—the goals that appear attractive, by giving instant reward. Needless to say, this naive idea of happiness is endlessly reinforced by advertising.

Convenience is a paradoxical and deceptive value. Surprisingly often, it leads us to a less convenient condition.

But its largest fault is that it separates us from the most rewarding pursuit—of human development; by developing culture.
