People are getting more impatient!!

Hi Yogesh True that there are more incidents like the ones that you mentioned. It is really sad. But there are so many factors that attribute to these. The first one is the high competition that you are subjected to - it is always a race now and race means you have to be fast enough. If not, you end up a loser and that breeds impatience. Then the media. It is not that things like this didnt happen in the past. They did. But the media was limited and so not many could make it to the news. Now with 100s of news channels, they have to show something at least to keep their business on. So actions like these get a hype. Yes, our lifestyle also contributes. Remember how much time your parents spent with you when you were a kid? Do you or many of us spend that much time with our kids? We are busy in the race and the kids are neglected. Who would teach them morals and ethics?

Impatience is something that is an unfortunate product of our society. Sadly, more people just don't take a step back and think. Therefore they do things that they regret. From the worst case scenario that you just mentioned to small things. Still, there are many mistakes, both small and large, right because of impatience. It is something that is becoming more common. People tend to rush everywhere, not worrying about where they going or it they almost knock someone down. Just slow down. Really, life is not a race. If you try and rush through everything because of your impatience, life is just going to be a lot more difficult. Just take a step back and take a breath, to think. Just think. The world is not going to end tomorrow. Well it could, but its rather highly unlikely. Still, just don't be impatient. Life will run smoothly, with far fewer complications. Just take a step back sometimes and things will happen when they happen.

Yeah, I do agree with you so much that People are getting more impatient nowadays. The reason that peole are getting impatient is that the world is becoming more and more competitive. With so rapid development, if people want to live on themselves and struggle to their feet, I think they must be quick and want to the things immediately.

Depending on the environment that we live in that is why we really tend to do such things especially if that is stressful. We just know how to say the right things but then we are not in the right mind for doing it. What I hate to the parents mentality is that we should respect elders (of course the is totally right) but they think they could disrespect children or younger people to the extent that they need to shout that much.

It always has to do with the parents on how do they raised their child properly. Being patient is just on those lesson he must learn but no matter how we teaches them this only few people have the virtue of being patient.

I think it is partly due to technology. For example, if cellphone is not invented we would not be calling and calling a person when he/she is late. What we do will be to wait until the person arrive. Since communication and travelling time has been reduced due to enhancement of technology, young generation do become impatient. One thing i don't understand is those who are usually late are still the young ones instead of the old folks. Since young people are impatient, shouldn't they be more punctual? Good day to you and hopefully you are not one of those who are impatient

I agree. I think there is lack of ambition in life now and it's so scary out there. With all this technology and distance from human interaction, I feel that people are more and more isolated from connection and people end up wanting to protect themselves that they create an enemy out of everybody else. It seems like everything is so possible that the ambitions have been lost in a lot of people and the strive to do something is not there.

You just bring out what i always want to say about it.This problem i have noticed a long time.Nowday cosidering our life has been improved a lot and the world economy growing fast,But we never thought it turns out a bad result.In this fast speed world,People getting more and more impatient and in another hand,they always ignore others feeling and thoughts.They only care about themselves.Selfish,impatient,impulsion,irritability,etc. What changed us? I ask myslef

Hiya yoge, Impatience and being aggressive we are responding to the pressure being put on us some days we take it better and some odd Days worse. Not one of us is free from it. We really can´t help feeling irritable and feel like giving way to tears it´s only part of our make up as we are at this moment in time. My Husband´s cousins children now grown up want their Father to put them in his will because he has made the House better. But do you know what it has taken him backbreaking hours of hard work to build that House and they have not helped him once and now they are being aggressive with him and impatient just because he has not put them in his Will and Testament. is House is very much improved but he has not even finished it yet so how about that for his Children´s impatience and avarice? A lot of People do not smile anymore either I find a lot of People talking to themselves which is a sure sign of stress. Well I try to be more patient and more loving and more understanding but I am only human after all. I know my user name is lovinangelsinstead21 but I am far from being an Angel yet. I am trying to be better though however today has been very trying for me. This is the first time I have been able to sit down properly today see what I mean? Take care now all have a great Day your side of the World.

Being impatient is 1 thing but killing another person - more so your parents??? That is absolutely insane. Impatient is understandable. People are always in a hurry in this fast-paced world. But to kill in cold blood, that person doesn't have the right to live.

I agree with you. Nowadays, people become more impatient under the stress of society and work. We only know how to make money and lead a luxurious life. For money, they can kill their parents; for money, they can cheat the best friends; for money, they can do the illegal activities. We don't have enough patience to our parents, friends, children and so on. Sometimes, I also will shout at them when I am tired or lose good temper. We should face the stress and change our attitude for the tension. Be more patient, more calm and more peaceful.

Absolutely agree. I think one reason for this lack of patience with today's generation is that there are lots of stuff/technology that make our lives more convenient. In the old days (I'm still young, this is not a "When I was your age" thingy) people would communicate through super slow snail mail. Today, video conferences and live chats are available.

Men have not changed It is the circumstaces living style has cange making man restless ands impatient.The city life and modern necessityies expect man to ern more and more and in this process we find lot of change in one's attitue and out look.How do you there is a change as we have not seen the lives of our elder.We read the history or hear from elders that there is a change. How much credible their statements? They speak of their younger days which we have not seen and they say their parents were wonderful. How is it? Their statements are not verifiable.Their outlook on life must have been different when they were young because they were young.Now they are old.How can compare their attitudes in younger days to their present attitudes.When we grow old we may also talk like them.Whatever it may, one thing is certain that the modern living with sceintific development is definitely diferent from olden days. Earlier there were no cars telephones mobiles or planes nor trains. Every one wants live a comfortable life which many cannotafford. That is why this choas.

Living in England, I haven't heard the story, yet, though that's the sort of story they run just before they try to hide some new tax the government is dumping on us. My husband had cancer a few years ago, a brain tumour, so now he can't work and I'm his carer. He's retirement age, so we have some benefits and his pension to live on. Actually, we're less stressed than a lot of others. We don't have children of our own, his have grown and have families, and the house is paid for. We worked hard to do that, and managed it just before the economy tanked. We're lucky, and we know it. On other sites that I'm on I see the overwhelming impatience of people who expect all and everything to happen now, and I think a lot of it in young people comes from a couple of generations of being spoilt. Maybe it was lucky I grew up poor, I don't have the lost luxuries that so many miss so much. Me? I'm happy with a takeaway once in awhile. I think too many people lose perspective. Remember being a teenager and the world was going to end if you didn't get to do something your friends were going to do? The world didn't end. We're all grown up now, and even if things don't go your way, the world isn't going to end. It's a bad patch, it'll get better.

I think so, there are some factors that affect our behavior such as culture, environmental changes and lifestyle. We can actually control our behavior and we can even change it, its just a matter of willingness not like personality that is fixed which can be expressed in actions and thoughts. To be patient is still a nice call for moral righteousness and have beneficial advantage of doing good to others.
