If there was one good thing to come out of the pandemic, it was that it made us all the more appreciative of all that is good in our lives.

No one ever appreciated the importance of friends or family more, having to be kept apart from each other for months, or the little things which bring us joy, which we made sure to keep doing even as pandemic restrictions were lifted.

Of course, being alone with our thoughts for such a long time also resulted in our reflecting on things in our lives, or in the world in general, which we were less than happy about.

Not to mention the all-important realization that life is short and precious, and we don't have time to waste our thoughts on some things.


Redditor SpicyHashbrowns was curious to hear all the things people have made their effort not to waste a single, minute thought on, leading them to ask:
"What is something you no longer have patience for?"

It Takes So Much More Effort To Be Nasty...

"Bad manners, unkindness and general rudeness."

"It costs nothing to be a nice person and from someone who works in a customer-facing industry, attitudes, sadly, appear to be getting worse."

At Least They're Being Transparent

"Medicine commercials with worse side-effects than the thing being cured."- mrbbrj

Wasting our time and thoughts about things that we know can only bring us down is simply no way to get through life.

It's essential to live our lives by taking the present moment for what it is: a present.

We may not all like the same things or be fans of the same celebrities, music, books, or films, but we all understand the anticipatory grief that comes with the fact that our favorite artists are human, just like us, meaning they will age and eventually create their last piece.

Fans of Dolly Parton, for instance, went through a scare last month when her sister shared a cryptic Facebook post about Dolly, only for the country singer to later have to post a video to reassure her fans that she "ain't dead yet" and was healthy.
