Madness of haste!

In today’s generation our lives have become so instantaneous that anything requiring patience and perseverance can appear unattractive. We require instant returns and instant result. The general idea goes this way, if it is delaying it is not worth. And believe me, this is one of the major catastrophes in this modern era. Researchers from Tristan Taomina Sex education comments on the problem of the generation who echo, “We are in the world that we want and we want right now”. And to our convenience anything we fantasize or dream are at our dispersal and in that all the vices tops the list.

This is a real challenge for especially young people because they are no more taught to manage their emotions. Instant Self-gratification stands at high priority due to which the rights of the women and girls in our society are violated. Today the growing problem of perversion, rape, and abuse are a menace to the society and causes threat to the weak and vulnerable section of our society the most. Diane Langberg Psychologist for Trauma survivors’ comments that even homes are becoming unsafe, “Globally, one in three women suffer from abuse and violence in their lifetime and the vast majority of that occurs within the home, tribe, religious places or community. That means these victims found home (the place where the family dwells) to be the most dangerous place on earth.”.

Similarly, the other traits like dishonesty and manipulation are also at the peak, which people use to instantly gratify their wants. The negative consequences  no more bothers them because it gratifies according to their taste. The cycle continues with their children.  Let’s not forget the laws of nature and the law of God when it comes to timing and spacing. The delivery of child cannot be accelerated, the growth phase from childhood to adulthood cannot be fast-paced. When God designed the universe He had a purpose to arrange things in a particular order.

The by-product of rushing to the next thing is that we fail to fully value people. Everyone else becomes a means to an end, someone who can help us get to where we’re going, rather than someone we’re called to journey alongside. The disease of now actually stops us living in the now. We miss the opportunity for a divine connection because we’re too busy looking five steps ahead. Let’s stay human. Let’s become, better humans. The Bible warns, “Enthusiasm without knowledge is not good; haste makes mistakes."
