I think patience makes life a whole lot easier. And it's impossible to be happy if you're impatient. Also, when you're impatient, times drags so slowly. I could write loads about that but I'll spare you! Certainly, you're right about the 'click of a button' issue. We get frustrated when a page takes four seconds to load instead of one. Jeez Louise!
I don't think there's anything wrong with setting expectations to a high standard in terms of what we want out of life, but then we need to be reasonable about it taking time to get there. :)
Thanks for a thought-provoking read!
