Many individuals seek immediate gratification without considering the consequences. Sort of like "I want to steal the candy bar now and not even consider the possibility of getting caught".
Totally agree. I would consider this to be a symptom of the entitlement that seems to be growing in our culture, from the top to the bottom of our economic and social positions.
I try to do a little better at wanting what I have rather than trying to have what I want. And also to focus on what's good instead of what's bad. Those two simple maxims make all the difference between being satisfied and happy versus being angry and resentful. Tends to reduce frustration and violence as a result.
