You can continue with the dull throb that is not only painful but annoying and slowly eroding OR you can "go in for surgery" and experience a quick sharp painful procedure to end up twice as good as you were before. Much as they hate to admit it, they usually acknowledge that this is the case. I frequently describe it to my clients as an injury.

And you're so right! Instant gratification has become a bit of a characteristic of our society: emails are answered right away, rice is ready in 1 minute, diet pills have people get into summer clothes a tad faster. Beyond anything, I think it comes down to managing expectations, and also our sense of entitlement. things have never come easy to other generations, and really it should be no different for us.
