We only begin to appreciate what we have when we start doing things we normally wouldn't do.
Like making bread.
We take bread for granted. Just a few bucks and you can buy a loaf of bread from the supermarket, already made for you.
But do we know how hard it is to make bread?
I made bread yesterday, using flour and yeast. The whole process is a very messy one. The dough sticks to your hands. You have to wait for the dough to prove and rise, which takes a long time. And there is no guarantee that the final product is good. Not to mention the washing up afterwards.
It took me about 3 hours to make 12 bread rolls. The satisfaction of eating one straight from the oven was great. Maybe I was too hungry to notice the difference, but it is quite an achievement to turn flour into an edible bread.
Isn't it wonderful that we live in a world that is so convenient? We should be grateful of everything that we have.

Yes, I totally agree. We sometimes take things for granted and sometimes we even make complaints. We need to be more aware of the people around us, a simple or brief greeting or caring would spark and feel grateful
i blame the convenience on capitalism.
