We humans, i mean most of us work like a programmed software. Wake up daily, assign some time for freshening up, leave for work, toil at work (same desk), come back home tired, prepare the dinner and go back to sleep for next day. This is how it is and we get used to it and get to do nothing new below. We are doing all of this for survival because survival is the key.
The now mentality is the result of doing things repeated at the same time. When we want something we want it now because we have something else to do in few minutes. We can't wait because it disturbs the program.
True, that is how the majority go through life. I mentioned them as those that never even start. For some, though, they reach an epiphany and choose to change - they see a way to break free. Unfortunately, they often feel that it is too hard and fall back into line.
Thank you for your insight here @themobilewriter
