Variety is the spice of life.
 
Please criticise.

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE.

One of the most essential component of life is variety. The variety of opinions, variety of experiences and the variety of lifestyle made the development of our civilization possible. Had there been no variety in life, our lives would have been monotonous: filled with boredom.

Variety, therefore, is an indispensible part of life. Journey of our civilization from caveman to modern day human became possible only because of variety. For example, Thomous Edison invented electric bulb. Though it was a marvellous invention, scientists however, were not satisfied with it. Hence they made amendments in its shape and functions. Consequently, they developed more sophisticated forms of electric bulbs today we have. Further, it is because of variety that Will Durant preferred to be a philosopher, while John Keats loved composing poetry. This clearly illustrates the importance of variety in life.

As such, the world would have experienced a standstill in the absence of variety. Growth and development of human culture and society would have been impossible. There would have been no joy, no colour to life, had there been no variety in life. Thus, it becomes evident that variety makes the life interesting and worth living.

Keep it up
 
good job Chulbull..
Nicely written, easy to understand.
One thing to tell you.
You should've explained it in somewhat greater detail because it ends too early.
One thing to ask you. Is it colour to life or colour in life?
A good job, I would say it again. Keep practicing. You're on a distinguished path. Stay blessed.

Opposed!
 
Dear Kamran, your critical analysis of my previous expansion helped me alot, so will this. However, I need to register some reservations here.
1. Why islam, sir? We are muslims, but by no standards does it mean that we are a great civilisation. Secondly, why to exclude western civilization? Why not to be inclusive?
2. I'm sorry I could not get your point regarding organisation of paragraphs. Would you please throw some light? It will be a great favour if you reorganise it for me.
3. Transitional words? What are these? I'm sorry brother, I'm very weak at grammar. Do not take it as a joke. I'm serious. I've never attended any grammar school, nor did anyone teach me. I'm from a government school where teachers themselves hardly know what they are teaching. Please elaborate this transitional word thing and do mention how often we should use such words.
Last but not the least sir, I'd written a sentence describing many things at one time without using conjunction, you'd highlighted that. Your point is valid though, i've read many standard pieces of writing with such structures. How would you negate my claim?
And sir, please share your contact number once again via my email. I'm sorry, before i could check updates here, your number was edited. I hope you won't mind.
