The Virtue of Patience

Although it's a virtue, patience isn't always simple. With the current situation, such was the case. Deep breathing, I reminded myself. "Hold your horses, and silence your mouth. You go to your room, and send him to his. You must maintain composure and patience. This is not a revolutionary event. Being patient has a lot of advantages, which I had to keep in mind at the time.

I had to keep my patience in mind. I intended to develop my patience after this episode was over. With a sigh, I sent my kid to his room and set down the sneaker I had bought for him four days ago, the lace of which had been completely pulled up from his wearing it all day.
I looked up what patience meant, and it was defined as "the ability to accept or tolerate delay, difficulties, or suffering without becoming angry or irritated." I'm often amazed by how a notion that might sometimes be challenging to apply can be described in only a few words. To what do you imply by patience?

As I was about to do in the first paragraph, it means to me that I control my emotions and refrain from becoming irritated or worked up about little things. (More about what transpired with my son is provided at the end of this essay.) Additionally, it implies that I wait patiently for things rather than whining or attempting to hasten them.

The right thing is not always simple, and patience is one of those things.
