Rush it up

In the old days, well, what I meant is the 30s till early 60s. People will spend time to make their own thing, finish what they need with their hands. Cook their meal without using any "instant" substitute, crafting the furniture, decorating the home, as long as they know how, they will do it themselves.

Society now grows to a different magnitude, in terms of economy. Products of any kind could now be found around us and which most, or all of them, will state in their promotion items that, by using their product, you can save lots of time and enhance the efficiency in finishing the task.

Don't you feel it is pathetic?

Everything seems to be needed in finishing in a second. And what shocked me most is, we don't see what we are hurrying for! Yeah, we always get told we don't have sufficient time to rest, to explore our interests or simply to enjoy our life. But do you feel you are more relaxing by using all those substitutes? Do you find you now have more time than before and can do whatever you wanna? I don't really belive in so!

Yeah, we can finish our task more efficiently, granted, just that we are now doing several thing at a time, rather than finishing it one by one. My point is -- is it necessary?

I am just feeling horrible in seeing everyone around is investing so much of our effort in our day-to-day job, without taking the time to think like a human. To consider thoughts besides money. Mankind is now being treated as consumable product, everyone can be tagged with a price.
