The thing they don't tell you about delayed gratification is that it only pays off 20% of the time.
Usually giving something up now doesn't get you anything better later. You're just sabotaging yourself for no reason.
It's no surprise that in an era where everyone is isolated, they always go for instant, small rewards over risking everything for a very low chance of lifelong satisfaction.
