Do you reckon yourself to be a patient person when it comes to the daily things in life? Or do you find yourself biting your lip and fidgeting when you are in line waiting to be attended to in a bank queue? Bank queues, aren’t they the worst? Here you are in a crowd of people, and there are eight counters and only two cashiers attending to everyone. Or a supermarket! Sometimes with long queues stretching to the produce aisles, with just two cashiers. And here you are with a loaf of bread feeling like you are wasting your youth waiting to pay for bread. The list could go on and on, and it is virtually endless. There are many situations in our lives that force us to wait be it a few minutes, hours, days or a couple of years. This has become increasingly difficult in the world of instant-coffee. Everything has been made to fulfill an immediate need or desire. You get money at the click of a button; messages and emails are sent and received in an instant. Food is warmed within seconds. Don’t we live in a glorious age? Can you imagine living in this era and having to wait for fourteen years?
