When we
were younger, we had the attention span the size of a speck of dust. Do you
remember every Christmas (or whatever holiday you happen to celebrate) we would
wake up at the peak of sunrise and run downstairs and see what presents were
awaiting us? Though every year we would wait and anticipate its arrival, and
every year it was totally worth the wait (except when my mother or grandmother
bought me socks or underwear. Let’s be honest, we all hated those relatives at
that moment!!) Most of my favorite childhood memories consists of these of
unwrapping my favorite toys and getting money from the relatives. Though,
overtime, the excitement has faded as our age grew.
Though
there are still curtain things in my life that I would be excited to wake up
extra early for, such as I did for Christmas. For example, let’s take something
that everyone enjoys like chocolate chip cookies. The preparation and the time
cooking them may take really long. But in the end, you know it’s going to be
worth it because you’ll have a great treat. Though I do admit it takes much of
my willpower to wait and sometimes I give into the temptation and go straight
for the batter.
But are
all people like that in my society; will they give up “making the cookies” and
go “straight for the batter” as I usually do, because the impatience comes over
them? I don’t think that it specifically has to do with the American society.
People have a level of so much they can handle with patience but once you reach
their limit, they won’t hold back and will lose their collectiveness short
after.
