I really like the fact that we can have things delivered super quickly. But I’m also skeptical. I had already thought about this one night when I couldn’t sleep.

I believe this practice is part of a culture of immediacy, where everything must be accessible instantly, reducing patience and waiting to flaws rather than virtues.

What you need to understand is that nothing is purely black or white. Everything is a matter of balance. For every action, every evolution, and every novelty, there’s a trade-off to be made.

Here, we sacrifice the ability to plan, thoughtful slowness, and the appreciation of the process for sheer efficiency. From what I’ve observed around me over the past few months, this can lead to a loss of connection with the natural rhythms of daily life.

This inevitably leads to burnout. Now, I’m not saying that getting your groceries delivered quickly increases your chances of burnout, but it’s the constant rush and endless desire for more that contribute to it.

I think happiness lies in the process, not the outcome. In the outcome, there’s instant gratification and frustration.

That being said, I sometimes have my groceries delivered. I enjoy novelty and don’t want to dismiss it altogether. I’m just asking questions.
