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.
I had a thought while reading this entry. Humans are hard wired NOT to be patient. I mean if you give a person a choice between a large reward in the future or a small reward now. Most will take the small reward now, even if it's not in their best interest.
Note- I'm not using this as an excuse. Just something for me to mull over.
Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. --Jean Jacques Rousseau.
