More From Jada Pinkett Smith

What is an "instant" death anyway? how long is an instant? is it one second? ten? the pain of those seconds must have been awful as her heart burst and her lungs collapsed and there was no air and no blood to her brain and only raw panic. what the hell is instant? nothing is instant. instant rice takes five minutes, instant pudding an hour. i doubt that an instant of blinding pain feels particularly instantaneous.

Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.

We know – it has been measured in many experiments – that children with strong impulse control grow to be better adjusted, more dependable, achieve higher grades in school and college and have more success in their careers than others. success depends on the ability to delay gratification, which is precisely what a consumerist culture undermines. at every stage, the emphasis is on the instant gratification of instinct. in the words of the pop group queen, “i want it all and i want it now.” a whole culture is being infantilised.

There sure are a lot of these 'instant' products on the market. instant coffee, instant tea, instant pudding, instant cereal... instant dislike.

Usually you just use these words: "i give you my, i make this commitment to you, i honor this idea between us." for me, commitment boils down to honor. because you make a commitment to protect our environment, you make a commitment to species preservation, you make a commitment to stop things like human trafficking. you make a commitment to stop smoking, to eat better. typically, something that is positive. a positive notion of honor.

I'm not sure there can be loving without commitment, although commitment takes all kinds of forms, and there can be commitment for the moment as well as commitment for all time. the kind that is essential for loving marriages - and love affairs, as well - is a commitment to preserving the essential quality of your partner's soul, adding to them as a person rather than taking away.
