Latin poet Ovid wrote that everything takes place gradually and at the right time. Nevertheless, impatience is an undeniable human characteristic, especially nowadays. No-one seems willing to wait in order to obtain something they want, no-one accepts to work long enough to reach a certain goal, no-one wants to postpone till tomorrow what – according to logic - is not possible to do or have today. Everybody is in a hurry, preferably driving instead of walking, eating “fast” food, talking non-stop etc. It is a lifestyle that is supposed to be more productive, more efficient because it allows people to do more things in a shorter time. But… what “things”? Such mentality seems to rather lead towards a forgetfulness of the truly important purposes. Awaiting the “right time” has become obsolete.
