Human beings do not like to wait.
Whether it is the frustration of being on hold with customer services, the irritation of a laptop restarting before an important call or the inconvenience of an absent train, we quickly rage when things we think should happen instantly are delayed.
Even more so when we have to wait for the resolution of a crisis, the coming of justice at the end of a long story of pain, or renewed health after an extended period of illness. Waiting for bad or hard things to become good feels deeply wrong.
