'Patience is the companion of wisdom." -St. Augustine.
I don't think that the idea of patience is to wait or tolerate something or someone ,its the action of waiting for something or someone with a good attitude for a result of sweet fruit and everything depends on how we are acting to wait for it. We often say things like-
Its so difficult to stay at home in lock down !
I can't lose weight even though I put a lot of efforts !
I can't wait to meet him/her.
I can't wait anymore for my promotion.
In all these phrases we just say to ourselves that we can't wait anymore to achieve our goals anymore. We have heard this famous proverb "All good thing comes to he who waits." We must always remember that good things take time ,if we bow a seed it will take time and good care for a flower or a fruitful tee to blossom.
"You must first have a lot of patience to learn patience " Stainslaw Jerzy Lec
Well that is one true statement. In this time when we got no option other than to have patience we should take care of us and everyone around us and be patient for a new beautiful life, it will come for sure cause nothing is permanent in our lives not even trouble. It will be difficult at the starting but when once learned we would pursue the true meaning of our living.
