Shifting Cultures

There was a time, a long, long time ago when the people of this country were required to take horses and buggies if they wanted to travel anywhere. They had to wait for their crops to grow and provide food. They had to wait for their food to cook because they did not have microwaves. Things have changed a lot in the last 200 years. Much of what we want is available to us almost instantaneously. In some regards we have lost the meaning of patience.
If we need to go somewhere we can get in our cars and drive down the road at 45 mph, but for many that is just not fast enough so they drive 50 or 60 mph. Once they arrive at the store they can find any type of food to fit their taste buds; regardless of whether or not it is in season. If that is not fast enough, you can stop at any of the numerous fast food restaurants that decorate nearly every corner and you do not even have to get out of the car. They hand you your all-ready cooked food right out the window to your waiting car.
Even the way that we handle money has changed. No longer do we carry cash, but bankcards that can automatically deduct money from our accounts. The same accounts that receive our direct deposit paychecks every two weeks. If you need a loan, you on longer need to wait weeks to hear back from the bank, simply walk into a payday loan store or visit moneymutual.com. Money Mutual, Montel Williams endorsed, is just one of the many places you can get a quick loan, without a credit check, and have it in your account by the next day.
There are many advantages to our fast-paced society. Being able to visit friends or family who live many miles, or states, away is just one. But I can’t help but feel that we’ve lost something in the shift. With people suffering from chronic stress, heart attacks, and numerous other ailments, perhaps it would do us all good to go back, if just for a little way, to a simpler, slower place in time.
