It is questionable whether people cannot learn much about life if they are always convenient or not. Nonetheless, regardless of what other people might argue, my personal stance regarding the topic is that it is true that convenience acts as a barrier in learning about life. I have a number of reasons to support my position, but I will limit my discussion to two of the most crucial points that I find to be also relevant to the topic: people learn through solving problems and gaining various experience.
The first significant point behind my contention with respect to the topic is that, it is impossible for people to learn about their life if they are too comfortable, because people learn through solving problems. People who disagree with my opinion tend to mistakenly overlook the fact that, when it comes to rebuilding a relationship with a friend, there is nothing better than living an uncomfortable life. For instance, I have a best friend called Min-su. She and I were close friend since kindergarten. I felt comfortable when I was near Min-su, so I started to act rude in front of her. I sometimes called her in funny names, teased her and did other things that hurt her feeling. Thus, one day Min-su got really angry at me and since then she stopped talking to me. I knew (that) it was my fault and that I had to apologize to her. I approached went to Min-su and told her how sorry I was for being so rude to her and then explained her that I did so just because I felt comfortable with her. In this lesson, I learned that being comfortable is not always the best thing. Sometimes one needs to be uncomfortable to learn the importance of someone and his attitude that one always took for granted.
The second point that I want to call to attention lies in the fact that people learn more about life if they are inconvenient(,) because it enables them to experience various situations. To illustrate, I have two older siblings above me, an elder brother and a sister. My brother always lived a busy life(,) and he rarely enjoyed any free time. He kept himself busy by doing a lot of part-time jobs and internships. Through his various experience he learned a wide range of things about life. He even wrote a book about his experience and the lessons that he learned through them. On the other hand, my sister kept everything simple. After graduating from highschool, she never did any part-time job or an internship and financially depend depende on my parents economically. Eventually she wasted her whole university life just hanging around with her friends and learning nothing about life. Thus, even two years after she graduated from university two years graduating university she does not have a job. This clearly states that being convenient does not convienient is no help in learning about one's life.
I firmly believe that the aforemetioned points were more than enough to support my position that living a comfortable life, people cannot recognize any lessons about their life due to the fact(-) that people cannot learn to solve problems or gain various experience when they live comfortable lives. |
