    Today we all want it. But what is it to you ? What do you need right now and you can't wait for it ? A Big Mac would work for me right now. But I have to stand in line for it. I still have to wait. Maybe just to one up Shroom one time would bring me joy. But I have to stand in line for that too. Maybe we are just to greedy.

    Peace

    i personally dont believe in "instant gratification".. anything that comes easy is not truly gratifying in my eyes..

    i think one appreciates things so much more when they earn it than when it comes easy..

    Agreed. ALTHOUGH! instant gratification brought about by having no desires is, well a desireable trait haha :tongue:
    But for the rest of us idiots, hard work and good experience makes you who you are.

    i think most everyone has desires even if they are content with what they have,.. theres always something someone would like to have..

    that being said,simply because i desire something doesnt mean i expect to get it..that being said,a desire gives one something to work towards.. unless of course there a worthless piece of shit then a desire gives them something to complain about not having.. :p

    HAHA very true Bill! Very true. I guess it depends on what our desires are and how healthy they are. Like if we desire to change ourselves in order to put better energy out into the world, well how can that be unhealthy? Or if we have the desire to quit using drugs, or to work extra hard, etc. Good point :)

    the only time I honestly search for instant gratification is in the morning when I drink my coffee. I feel like I'm waitingggggg and waiting for the caffeine to kick in and wake my ass up.

    My freedom. I thought I had it. I think too much. There are things I can walk away from but responsibilities still hold me down. Selfish and childish I suppose...

    Instant gratification.

    For escape or out of exuberance?

    The escapist kind is limitless, really.

    I don't believe in instant gratification. Or at least I don't remember it.
