Patience

Patience is a very valuable virtue, a possession that should not be lost. Something that people should have, and if not then those people should be stayed away from. People are losing more of their patience because they don't need it. For ex. internet used to be always 56k and people were used to 3 minute page downloads. Now theres 956k and people don't have patience for even 10 second page downloads. Or take cooking. Back in the day people waited for 10 minutes for their meal to heat. Now it takes 2. People adapt.......as Darwin said. But sometimes not in a positive way.

The negative impacts on not needing patience are people honking at people crossing the streets. Cursing at their car to go faster when they have 50 minutes to get where there going when they only need 10. Urging and urging everything to get faster.

Parents are a great example. Always trying to find ways to get their kids smarter without having to wait a couple of years of school. People want NOW! never later. Even on AIM some people expect me to answer every friggin second when I have other things to do.

I hope people slow down enough to adapt enough patience to wait for their morning coffee to boil. And even then, people throw their coffee makers out the window cuz they don't make it fast enough.

And yet still, i hope it shall be.
