Monotony is underrated

Sometimes life can become pretty monotonous. We get up. Go to office. Work. Come back. Watch TV. Have dinner. Go to sleep. Repeat that 5 times a day. First half of the weekend finds us taking care of personal life. And the second half, the blessed Sunday, for unwinding from the daily grind and getting ready for the week ahead. Repeat that 52 weeks a year.

Yup. Life can be very monotonous. We always complain about the same old daily routine. Sometimes, if lady luck may smile upon us, then we find the time and the opportunity to go out, unwind, have a vacation, take a break... Break the monotony...

But the fact is, monotony makes up the major chunk of life. If life is a meal, then monotony is the bread, or the rice. The breaks and vacations are the spices and vegetables and meat we eat along with the bread or the rice.

When was the last you had a filling meal made up solely of vegetables or meat? It is the bread, or the rice, that makes the meal complete. Gives us the carbs necessary for supplying energy to our body.

So however unsavoury monotony might be, it still forms the major chunk of the meal of life.
