Patience

 Patience


Patience can be regarded as a decision-making problem: Eat up all the grain today, or plant it into the ground and wait for it to multiply. Unfortunately, human beings evolved not as farmers but as hunter-gatherers, and have a strong tendency to discount long-term rewards. Even in pre-modern, pre-technological times, the "egocentric predicament" made it difficult to exercise patience. Being both useful and difficult, patience is often thought of as a virtue, but it can also be understood as a complex of virtues including self-control, humility, tolerance, generosity, and mercy, and is itself an important aspect of other virtues such as hope, faith, and love. Patience is definitely a virtue. It is a quality that allows a person to act more beneficially on their own behalf, and on behalf of others. Impatience can lead to impulsive acts that often cause harm and unforeseen consequences. Patience allows one time to consider the possible outcomes and ramifications of any actions being considered. Patience also enables a person to keep working toward a goal that would be impossible to achieve if they were not willing to keep making an effort over an extended period of time before reaping their reward. Patience is necessary for most people to learn new things, as no one gets everything immediately or on the first try. It’s also required when teaching other people. Patience with other people is also a necessity in order to be kind and compassionate in many cases. “Trees that grow slow bear the best fruit.” It is a very nice quote that means we should be patient with everything and in the end, we will appreciate it.
