Instant gratification. It's an insidious disease that affects all of us, including myself. It's a symptom of many, many years of conditioning, it shows its form in very very subtle ways/levels (as your comments highlight, the years that you've been awake notwithstanding), whether we realize it or not, and in blatant ways as well, and it's very difficult to rein in and/or put aside.
I originally downvoted your first comment as doomer-speak, but then remembered that all of us are becoming weary of the slow pace of The Plan as it unfolds, and the damage/victims it leaves behind, and reversed it with an updoot. The only way I can deal with the pace and its consequences is just to keep telling myself, "Just watch what happens next." Everything being done has a purpose, and as Q said, not all of it is clean. It sucks, like nothing else ever has, to go through this; especially with casualties; but all will work out in the end.
As the commenter below says, a breather/break to take your mind off of all of this a bit could help, although your mind will always be on it. Try to step away a bit and it could give you a new perspective. WWG1WGA, fren.
