Patience is a Virtue

April 24th, 2008 Abdul Basit · 3 Comments

patience.jpg‘Patience is a virtue’ is an idiom which you hear when you are in class 2, but tolerance levels go down when you jump into the pratical and materialistic world. Hit the road, you find people acting like ”Beatles” by performing ‘live stunt shows’ on the roads so that they reach their destination faster at the cost of our lives. When these people finally reach at a signal, they start playing their latest honking tunes as soon as the signal turns from red to green. Cure - Have Patience friends!

Switch on the TV, guess what you see? The usual Saas-Bahu fights or world leaders like Hillary and Obama ripping each others hair offlive on the ‘idiot box’, both trying to create history by being the first woman and first black president respectively, but arent both democrats? They should learn from their Republican counterparts, I believe, and hopefully put a stop to their ‘mud-slinging’ so that they could acheive a good result in the november elections. Remedy - Have Patience buddies!

Switch off the TV, open up a newspaper, flipping to the sporting news hoping against hope to see something good, you end up reading about ‘Harbhajan-Symonds saga’, the Shoaib Akhtar fiasco or would hear about the crazy African team coach who fights with players, officials and recently had a bout with police too ! Solution - Have Patience guys !

With all this stress factors around, our resources are draining out because of these ‘vampires’ are sucking our happiness out. To kill these ‘vampires’, we cant do a ‘Rambo’ or a ‘Rocky’ to slit their throats ,instead, have to go and ‘buy’ patience to get rid of them from our lives . Just like the zillion sim card offers, patience comes in a bonus package with happiness, with no strings attached such as ‘limited period’ or ‘untill stock lasts’. In the end, I recall a wise man telling me once, ‘There are ‘ghosts’, ‘ghost believers’ and ‘non-believers’, to live in harmony one should respect each other’s point of view and should not feel disgraced, thus have patience’.

    Have patience with al things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them–every day begin the task anew.
