Microwave syndrome

We live in a day where people want so many things so very quickly. We treat so many things like we are trying "microwave" them. By "microwave" I mean us wanting a desired result in as little time as possible. We can have a hot and ready meal in as little as thirty seconds. We try to microwave food, relationships, friendships, character, and so many other things. We sometimes get impatient when something takes a longer time than we desire, and it even goes on to the point where it may make us irritated. The one big thing we cannot "microwave (rush)" is life. Life is full of experiences which mold us into who we are. Some of these experiences last in intervals of seconds, minutes, but some even years. But in the long run our success in life cannot be microwaved but can be attained over much time. I will end  with this analogy, "a microwavable dinner will never taste as good as something that has been slow roasted in the crock pot".
