Patience is A Virtue.

A virtue that I did not get: Patience. A lot of people suffer with the everlasting disease of being impatience. If you don't know, it's the feeling where you can't wait for something so much that it may bring up ranting, violence, or worse. Ever since humans were MADE (from Evolution) there have been a truck full of impatient people. I am, unfortunately one of them. For instance, if I know an album's coming out in a month, I don't stop till I get that album BEFORE it comes out because I know I'm not able to wait that long. I check sites and sites for a leak of the album or maybe even one or two songs. Every single day I do this till I find it. Sometimes I haveta resort to just waiting for the album, but I never do that until I'm sure there's no leak out. I tend to not do anything violent or inappropriate due to my impatientness, but it still bothers me. I think the best cure for this is just holding yourself back and knowing that it'll be there or happen soon. You can keep your head up and smile and say "I know it'll happen before the day (week, month, year's) over." Of course it isn't easy to stop being impatient but I think the world would be better off without that bad quality. Everybody KNOWS that it will happen, THAT'S what causes one to be impatient. If they're not sure if it's going to happen or not, they can't be impatient because again,they're not sure of it. But if they are, I don't see why we still have the emotional and mental instincts to still not be able to wait for it. After all, the longer the wait, the better right? Well this statement is usually true, because if you're impatient, you MUST want it. So the longer you wait, the more it'll be worth it. It's like a delicious dinner being prepared for you. You can smell it and soon you can taste it. Your mouth waters and you get up to ask if it's ready. They respond, "no," and you go back and sit down and wait another 10 minutes and ask again, "No." Another 10 minutes, "no." Soon you can't take it anymore and you decide to just grab it outta the oven and eat it. First, your burn yourself but you hunger conquers that. Then you eat it and it's disgusting. "You shoulda waited 10 more minutes!" Says the preparer. You nod in a disappointed manner. You leave the room and sit down, and wait, this time patiently. This story applies for everything, sometimes getting it earlier may be worse! For instance, some album leaks may be completely fake and you may hate it, but when the real album actually comes out, you hear the real songs and you're in love with them. I'm sort of a hypocrite for writing this blog, but being impatient doesn't do much good (and if it does, rarely) so I think we should all take a deep breath and try to stop our instincts from acting out. Try it next time you're in a car and you're aboutta ask your parents if "you're there yet." If you're asking them that, I'm pretty sure they're going to say "NO!" So just shuttup and look out the window and wait till you're really there. This virtue will have your head up and other's as well. So good luck! =]
