#33: Patience Is a Virtue

They say patience is a virtue, so why does it seem so rare these days? You might agree with this person who said that patience seems to be few and far between compared to 30 years ago. People don’t want to wait for things anymore, and they act very impatient when they do. This Reddit user makes a valid point.

We are a society of instant gratification these days. With online shopping, one-day shipping, and social media engagement, we’ve become a very impatient society. We all seem to be running on a hamster wheel, trying to get as many things done as fast as we can. There’s value in slowing down and waiting a bit. Sometimes, it’s even more worth it than instant gratification. Can you believe it?
