Instant Gratification - A virus more lethal than any pandemic.

My two cents (recently upgraded from one cent through the process of osmosis) are my own observations during the last several decades on humanity’s greed for instant gratification. This mostly encapsulates Gen Y (the millennials) and now Gen Z (Digital Natives).

By the way these penned convictions of mine are by no way an attempt in trying to sully the reputation of these generations but simply putting my views in the public domain.

Instant gratification has become their daily recited mantra in all aspects of their lives. Whether it relates to wealth accumulation, upgrading their lifestyles, initiating relationships, everything needs to be achieved immediately ASAP without the patience. waiting, and inputting of required commensurate efforts. 

Short cuts to glory are the new normal. They have willfully allowed their happiness index to be subjugated by their carnal desires bereft of any spiritual elements. In the background their misery index is having a field day highly nuanced but their self embraced denial syndrome gives them a temporary and momentary high by not acknowledging its existence. This falsehood regrettably inevitably gets metastasized in their grey cells.

Unfortunately now even their widely spoken and written English language communication has fallen in their predatory cross hairs, where crass brevity has become their SOP. This language that evolved over the years is being procreated in a bastardized manner, with scant consideration to grammar, spelling and punctuation.

I pray that it is high time that they wake up and see the writing on the walls. Otherwise over passage of time what will play out is simply that due to sheer neglect and ignorance, there will be a stage reached, where several towers of Babel would have been constructed albeit regrettably. 

As a result multiplicity of coded language variants will be created, where no one will be able to understand each other, and have meaningful dialogs. Expressions achieving traction will be non existent.

Reluctantly, I will be forced take comfort in the fact, that I will not be around to witness such a horror unfolding all thanks to my advancing age.✍🏼
