Patience

Send me some if you find it. Lol

 

Wine and Guns and Roses - Patience!

 

Really?

 

I think I would love it there.x
I am impatient to get traveling.

 

I was always told that Patience was a virgin. At least I think that's what they said. Never met her yet.

 

Hahaha that made me chuckle. x

 

I'm losing my patience. Waiting for people is at the top my list right now.

 

sometimes i think i've had too much and sometimes i know its not enough.
every time i've tried to have less in hopes doing so might accomplish more, the only thing its accomplished was beating my head against a wall.
so mostly i have to conclude its a pretty good thing.
when it comes to my freelance, self designed model building, both physical and 3d in the computer, i mean, i probably have more then most people who don't attempt it, but not nearly as much as those who are better then it then i, the many who are, i could use ten times as much as what i have and then some.
(when it comes to mundane twitoid conversations, i have less with humans then i have with cats)

 

Stay calm. x

 

Lost my patience waiting for sleep lol

 

We live in a hectic culture of consumerism, fast food, on your face ads which inject us with desires for latest goods and services even if we don't necessarily need it, but still buy due to peer pressure.

Consequently we are being filled with the belief that life is all about increasing its speed and pleasure, and having all our desires in the form of cravings and aversions fulfilled in the least time possible.

This belief can lead to impatience with people and things.

Nature moves about patiently with its processes. We are part of nature but our psychological reality distinct from existential reality (due to its incessant and numerous cravings for pleasure) breeds impatience in us.

This is due to the imbalance between the limited nature of the senses and the unlimited nature of desires.

Perhaps the solution lies in greater connection with nature.

There is a thread in this regard which had an insightful discussion on this subject...

Wings Of A Dove.

 

That is all very true.
Thanks for the link.

 

I pride myself on patience - I'm quite literally proud of myself when I remain patient; in particular when it comes to driving because I know how difficult that can be. Patience definitely is a virtue, and I like to think I'm trying to be a virtuous person.

I think if people were more patient with each other we would be a happier society. It's easy to lose patience when there are fewer commonalities. If you can say "that person is better or worse than I am" or with people who don't have it so good, it's easy to blame them. I have to remind myself not to.

 

Road rage is awful in the UK.
I am always a patient driver.
I may cuss at my satnav though. Lol

 

As I get older my patience to other road users actual gets better. Seeing how bad some folk drives makes me realise I'm not that bad behind the wheel.

 

I took my advanced driving test years back.

 

Me too. As I get older...

Especially when I ponder the death rate*

It's somewhere ridiculously high, traffic fatalities...

I don't want to be a statistic. And then sometimes I catch myself speeding around someone, more out of boredom than frustration. Be the patient driver can become tedious; especially when you're literally the only person in traffic exercising any kind of judgment at all. Lol.
