Quick Fixes

Why is it that people are always looking for a quick solution to a problem? Whether it's having that quick smoke or taking a sip from that bottle... how does it really help what the underlying cause of the issue is? Is it that we have gotten to used to all of the conveniences of life that makes us expect life's problems to be fixed automatically? Have we lost patience to take the time to deal with things to learn whatever valuable could come from it? Or is it that we expect everyone else to fix things for us and pick up the pieces when things go wrong?

Perhaps it is just that misery loves company so we feel we need to drag others into our problems.. Perhaps we are just too caught up with daily life to really stop and look at the bigger picture..

Maybe we should all take a breathe and take a look around.
