Laziness Is the Mother of All Inventions
Laziness is the Mother of all Inventions
I think it was Isaac Newton who said. “Necessity is the mother of all inventions”. I beg to differ. In my opinion, Laziness is the mother of all inventions.
Consider the original lazy caveman. All the hardworking cavemen were busy sneaking through the bushes in the hot sun, risking lives trying to catch animals without any tools. But then there was this lazy caveman who thought, “Hunting is too much hard work. I think I should come up with something to make this hunting easy. Then I can sleep peacefully under the tree, instead of getting sunburns for no reason”. So he polished some stones, made them pointed, and tied them to a few sticks. With these new tools, the lazy caveman could hunt easily and sleep for the rest of the day peacefully.
Then the human race developed agriculture. All the hardworking people used to get up early in the morning and go to the fields to drag all the grain back home. Then a lazy farmer got fed up and said, “I would rather sleep in my hut instead of waking up early and dragging this grain around. I better come up with something to make transporting grain easier”. So he invented the wheel. With the new invention, the lazy farmer didn’t have to get up early in the morning.
The humans, at that time, were mostly wanderers. All the hard working people would pack their belongings, climb on their camels, bullocks and donkeys and keep moving from one place to another. Then a lazy nomad got irritated and said, “You go if you want to go, I am not moving. Wandering about is too much hard work”. So he built a house and stayed put. His children built their houses around his house. His children’s children built more houses. Soon it became a village, then a town, then a city and finally a civilization. So remember, if there were no lazy people, there would be no civilization.
During the Industrial revolution, the hardworking men would go to work on their cycles. One lazy man said, “Pedalling is too much
