We Live In A Quick Fix Society

We live in a "quick fix society." Everything we want, we can have, much quicker and easier than ever before. Think about it. If you want a date, you can swipe right. If you want an outfit, you can get next day delivery. If you want a healthy meal, you can purchase a prepared one. If you want to start a business, you can form one in minutes. Even if we disagree with Amazon's work ethics, many of us will use them for the convenience of getting nearly anything we want, quickly, via Prime. We are saving tons of time and effort.

It would appear that our attention spans are shrinking too. Instagram works well because you can scroll, get a message or dopamine fix quickly, and double-tap to like. Similarly, TikTok consists of short videos that give you precisely what you're after. There's no need to watch a 10-minute video for a one-minute instruction anymore. Or watch a whole sketch show to find the funniest parts. We want things quickly, and if we can't get them at Least speed. Your attention goes elsewhere - we continue scrolling
When we're so used to having our needs met quickly. We often carry this conditioning into our relationships. Herein, we identify an issue: sometimes, we're only in relationships to meet our needs. But even if we're ready to unite by mutual exchange, many of us find commitment hard because, we're now trained to believe we can get good things pretty instantly and effortlessly.

So what happens when things get hard? We run. People have become much more disposable. When needs aren't being met or things become inconvenient, people look elsewhere. "This must be wrong. I can do better." And with social media only highlighting the positives (sometimes falsely), relationships often seem like they're only meant to be glamorous destinations, not unpredictable journeys.

CONCLUSION
Just like clothes, some relationships aren't the best fit for us. We have to exercise our ability to discern between which ones are worth nurturing and which ones we need to release. Work towards harmony in a relationship, rather than perfection-nevertheless, remember, mutual effort and patience are required.
