Gandhi against Modern Civilization Gandhi's philosophical book delves into the drawbacks of certain modern-day commodities compared to those of the past. By providing examples, he highlights the negative aspects of convenience-focused modern civilization. One particular idea stood out to me in his writing. Gandhi suggests that the ease and convenience of modern life have made individuals lethargic. For instance, ordering food and having it delivered within 30 minutes is now possible, whereas in the past, finding and preparing food required effort and skills like hunting and cooking over an open fire. I concur with Gandhi's disapproval of consumerism. The increased reliance on assistants and other conveniences to enhance our lives can be perceived as a downside of societal progress. #reflect
