comfort-discomfort

They say grass is always greener at the other side, so was one such instance that gave me the lesson of the day, after travelling around 15 metro stations I got an opportunity to grab a seat which could actually fith 2/3 of me :P, but the temptation to have that seat was high as it was a luxury coming in my way. The discomfort of this tempting comfort that came my way only when my legs couldn’t bare the strain of weight along with the items I was carrying. Then is when the thought ran in my mind, we are surrounded with so many of these fake comforts for which we pay heavy price or sacrifice the comfort that we have thinking, what we don’t have is more comfortable. The learning doesn’t end here because I didn’t get up, one reason for it was to learn more out of situation and other was the mild ego that ran through that what would others be thinking about me if I get up now in between and stand, and this is what happens to all of us. We get lost in what others think  about us rather than looking into what comforts us.
