why have we become a world of now? what happened to Patience? for me the wait is everything doesn't it create more feelings and thoughts the longer it lasts? i want to think about it a while lol

Well I can tell you exactly what happened with patience, because in our times people seem really to have lost it because they are mostly not able to act in a right way with each other. Mostly people are handled like stupid numbers and the personal level is completely away :angry:

Patience is something very important and I know what I am talking about because I had to learn it very, very early in my life.

I think it would be sensational if people learn again to keep patience because that would make many things so easy :thumbs up:

In a modern society always on the run, makes people impatient.

I live a slow life in a rural area, and patience is a definite asset here. Things just don't happen right away; we can't even get groceries or gas without a 10-mile drive, so it becomes necessary to just wait.

But when I go into the city, everything's different; that's partly why I live where I live. I agree with bigsal, it's modern society & technology, but I think an underlying factor is overpopulation, which makes rushing to get to the front a necessity in some ways.

One thing I will readily admit to, I hate having to wait in line for anything. I would never wait more than 5 minutes in a restaurant line, no matter how much I wanted to eat there. Ditto a new product, tickets to any event, or any kind of food stand; there's just nothing I want that bad. I always get the first appointment of the day for a doctor, unless I know he's one of the few who leaves enough time between appts. It's a quirk, it's definitely a manifestation of impatience, but it's just who I am.

I live in a rural area too, but I must admit that impatience has reached nearly all places. The farmers have modern equipment that does the job faster than ever. Now they are installing milk-robots everywhere.
It seams as if it is a luxury to have time. I am retired, so I have lots of time. Financial I am not rich, but time is money, they say, so in fact I am extremely rich.
I never wanted a mobile phone, because those machines can disturb you at any time and at any place. Since three month I started not to wear a watch anymore. It is amazing how accurate your biological clock is able to tell you the time.
I am easy now, but I do realize that the youngsters make it possible for me to be easy.
