Angry for No Reason

We live in a digital age that has prioritized speed and convenience over pretty much anything. With a few taps or clicks of buttons, we can order private transportation services, talk to anyone in the world, or find virtually any piece of knowledge that’s ever been recorded.

While this has undoubtedly done wonders for the advancement in society, this technology has also come with consequences.

We get angry when our Internet is a little slower than usual. We can’t stand when we have to wait a little longer for things. In other words, we have adjusted to this accelerated pace of living, and anything lagging behind just a little bit annoys us.

I do this all the time.

When you catch yourself freaking out, it’s important to gain a little perspective, and recognize that these little inconveniences are not the end of the world.

In the grand scheme of things, we are extremely lucky to be living the lives we are. Sure, maybe it’s raining outside and you left your umbrella in the house, and someone dented the side of your car, and your friend was late for lunch. At least you have a home, a car, and friends. People all around the world are struggling to survive.

So, the next time something comes up and you feel your blood pressure rising, just remember that in one week, day or even hour, the inconvenience will have no real effect on you.
