Instant Life: No Patience

If we compare the present generation to the previous ones, the previous generation people were more patient than us. Reason, well there was no need for them to rush or hurry life was smooth and at ease. There were no ATM’s they had to stand in queue for everything, right from ration to the work in the bank. Anywhere and everywhere, they had to wait and wait to get things done. I believe may be this is one of the reasons that the people then had cultivated high tolerance levels and high patience levels.

Today patience is a rare quality that we find in people. Today’s life itself is at a very fast pace and everything needs to be done instantly. There is n o time to lead life as life, today’s humans are just money making machines, they have time for anything else, half of the life is as it is over running after money, and the other half spending it on health. Instant is our life and in that instant, everything has to be instant, right from the coffee to the food fast food, instant coffee, drive-ins, ATM’s, even tickets right from train tickets to plane tickets all are at your disposal just a click away. What not everything has changed its gear to fast track to cope up with our pace of life.

The more the comfort we are enjoying, the less our patience levels are becoming. The fast pace life we are leading and all the comforts we are used to have eaten away the word patience from our lives. Comforts and luxuries are good, as long as they are there, but we should not be dependent on them to the level, that we cannot lead life without them. Somewhere, we all need to get back to our basics, and need to develop the qualities that are essential for our existence, especially patience.
