It is a total havoc! My mind is diseased, my life is a disaster, my dreams are shattered, and my wants are never fulfilled. I am barely living. My life is a constant struggle. Yet, I am not trying to make things right! When I ride my bike I honk! I keep on honking. Did the car in front of me just stopped? Maybe to drop a passenger! I don’t care. I honk. Even if it is an old person with a walking stick getting out of the car, I don’t care, I keep on honking! Honk till the car starts to accelerate again. When I stop a car and others start to honk, I holler at them. For me patience has no meaning. It is a bitter thing. I want it done right there right now! No delays.
I want a big house. I don’t have to earn anything to get it. Some one should provide it to me. I will blame the government for not providing me with shelter. I can’t live a comfortable life with my current salary. I will protest, till my salary is increased. I am impatient. I can’t wait; I don’t care even if the government does not have any cash in its reserves. I need what I want. I try, but I can’t find patience. I have lost it! Somewhere in my life, I have thrown away my patience in to the deep waters. I don’t have the stamina to look for it. Not anymore!
This is our society today. We are in a psychological disaster! Lack of patience is ruining this society beyond imagination. Yes, indeed patience is bitter. But the fruits of patience are sweet. “With patience you can bear up under any adversity and survive any defeat. With patience you can control your destiny and have what you will. Patience is the key to contentment, for you and for those who must live with you. To be brave without patience can kill you. To be ambitious without patience can destroy the most promising of careers. Patience is power. Employ it to stiffen your spirit, sweeten your temper, stifle your anger, bury your envy, subdue your pride, bridle your tongue, restrain your hands, and deliver you whole, in due time, to the life you deserve.”
Sometimes we feel that we have lost patience. Sometimes we feel that we can not delay anything. But what we ought to understand is that patience is not an object. It can’t be lost. It is a decision. We decide to be patient. And if we choose to be patient in pursuing our dreams, that is what will deliver us with sweetness and grace. When there is a delay we should know that it is not a denial. Forcing things might result in bearable dangers! Protests, fights and violence can’t make happen something that is impossible. You can’t force a hundred story building to be erected before dusk today!
Patience is not only sweet, but it is also a power. A power that can deliver greatness and comfort! Like Confucius said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” And all the way from the first step to the last, it is patience that keeps the person moving forward.
