Quite possibly the biggest struggle we twenty-first century westerners have with healing is that it’s not instantaneous. In our “gotta have it now” culture, we struggle with any process that cannot be speeded up. We have instant rice, potatoes, and coffee. In Vegas you can have an instant wedding. Depending on where you live, Amazon may be able to deliver your package within an hour. We are encouraged to pre-order, to use the app so we spend less time in line, to participate in grind culture by going and moving and not stopping to make things happen faster and sooner. Delayed gratification is not valued in our society. Waiting has gotten harder. We want it our way, now.
