Next station: Conclusion
Patience can be a virtue for those who aren’t afraid of boredom. Otherwise, being patient can be a curable sickness (no pun intended) as we keep switching from one object to another. Of course, this attitude is a symptom of luxury; the poor lot wouldn’t keep looking for distractions. They’ve got bigger existential problems to deal with. Unlike them, we bombard ourselves with theories, notions and ideologies — hoping to reach the exalted conclusion as soon as possible. The poor don’t carry this burden of speed as they chug along solving everyday issues at individual level. For them, the society can wait. On the contrary, the privileged souls want to change society with their heads — with minimum participation from their limbs — as we want to leave our impressions behind. Because of these haphazard approach towards life, we often end up with premature thoughts and stale opinions. Time doesn’t run at the same pace for everyone: the rich is bored while the poor is occupied. The former shouldn’t expect a grand welcome when he arrives at his conclusion(s).
