There are many inventions around us that make our life convenient and enriching. If we use a finger without going shopping, we can get the items we want. We can communicate online without seeing each other face-to-face.
But the convenient life does not always bring happiness. The development of transportation causes lack of exercise as time for walking decreases, and a new type of digital dementia arises due to the use of convenient smartphones. We sometimes regard even a little inconvenience as big. These are side effects of getting accustomed to convenience.
The mission of this month is to find happiness hidden by convenience. Enjoy the happy things we can get from inconvenience!
