Waiting

We have all heard it: patients is a virtue, but what does it really mean? Should we really wait for everything? Should we slow down, and let the rewards come in time? The answer is defiantly yes.
When we want something, we want it now, or on Christmas, we want to know what we got. The most common and annoying responses are “you’ll see”, or “maybe later”. None of us want to wait, we want it now. Fast food, cars, contests, and microwaves are all things that feed our need for instant gratification. If the world could learn to slow down, and be patient, we would have fewer problems. There would be no theft, because people would work to get whatever they are stealing. There would be no murder, because people would wait for something bad to happen to the person, and accept that as revenge. Traffic accidents, most mistakes, and low quality products would all be a thing of the past, if only we had patients.
