If I Were Religious, I Would Pray For Patience

Patience is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without acting on annoyance/anger in a negative way; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties. It is also used to refer to the character trait of being steadfast. Antonyms include hastiness and impetuousness



But alas, patience is not a virtue that I always exude.


I expect others to abide to their word, and be as respectful and as considerate as others treat them. When these people fail to be so empathetic and turn to ignorance, I become impatient. The ignorance that someone shows towards a simple request, a courteous action, a person’s heritage or even a law going unenforced, is despicable nonetheless. And then goes as far as being ignored and or mocked. When this occurs, I become: impatient, stressed and my blood starts to boil.


Impatience is a flaw that I do possess when the simple contemplation of others is clearly overlooked.


Heck, I may even do this too. But nobody is perfect. And all anyone can do to try to avoid sounding hypocritical is to do so upon others and hopefully they will show you a morsel of regard for your existance.
