At the same time though, of course, some things you do have to wait for, like Grolsch or Guinness or other things that I can't recall right now but I'm sure you do have to wait for them. ferries. You usually have to wait for ferries. Or do you though? What heppens if you don't wait around and tap your foot? maybe you blunder about and get into something you really don't want to. Like the sea.
Complacency though, that's definitely not a good thing right? What's so bad about it though in relation to what's so virtuous about patience. maybe with complaceny you willfully let stuff slip by whereas with patience, you wait around despite not really wanting to, thus exercising a degree of self control thus announcing oneself as noble and grayte. Why is patience so good?
What do you say Axl?

feel like in my 30s I've become much less patient and can't tell if it's just a natural reaction to the accumulated disappointments from people I previously trusted or just the "reassurance seeking" side of anxiety taking over.
like I get edgy if I'm waiting for a response back to something (not like a message to a friend/lover, but ie scheduling an appointment for something, etc). and have to fight urges to aggravate the other person by checking in before they've had a chance to respond.
feel like patience is important but at the same token it's easy to get trampled on. i dunno - how patient are y'all?

patience is coming more easily to me the more i accept that "getting trampled upon" is important to guard against but "this irritant thinks they are getting one over on me here" is not worthy of my time nor attention

Eh, at this point it's almost impossible to find a thread where you're not either bullying me, posting vague references to you bullying me, or crying about how the world is against you. It's not stalking if you run around my house shouting my name, you dumb little crybaby.
