Do Changes That Make Our Life Easier Not Necessarily Make It Better?
Changes that apparently make our life easier do not necessarily make it better. Many people are inclined to make wrong decisions because they are easier to undertake. For example, it is easier to lie sometimes in order not to face certain circumstances. Other times it is less difficult to follow one’s emotions instead of one’s reason. Finally, people prefer to obtain something through minimal effort. Unfortunately all these decision can have very bad consequences.
While people who lie may make their lives better temporarily, after time others find out the truth, ruining the reputation of the deceiver.
