Gradual Accomplishments

Things are built in steps, but I sometimes (more often then I'd like to) believe that they will be instantly made available, like an online purchase of a digital product or service.

Maybe it's a very common trait of our time, that people got used to have everything given from one moment to another. But most things are built over time, piece by piece. Even the platforms that sell us those instant accesses were built piece by piece, over time.

Yes, productivity increases the size and conectivity of the chuncks that can be built at once, but they still need to be thought through, designed, implemented.

Nature also works like that.

There is reallly no reason to expect that things that are not yet built would be built overnight. Specially if it is something we, as individuals, plan to built in our lives, over its course.

But kids are raised in different terms, and if the parents don't succeed, kids have high chances of ending up spoiled, expecting the world to work in ways it actually does not.

I can tell that I do suffer from that a bit. Many times I get frustrated when things develop in ways I didn't expect, or put unrealistic expectations in activities or projects I take part in.

But this is all some degree on misunderstanding, that's not how things work. And we tend to forget about it because we get used to the way some systems around us work.
