Patience – a virtue.



-Alexander Dumas


Humans are known for their competitions. From the time a child is born, his parent’s starts dreaming the future of the child. If the fist of a new born baby is observed, we can observe that its fists are clenched as if it’s going for a fight. From the time a child is born until he dies there is a constant battle one has to fight in this world. It starts with food, books, knowledge, and extents to morality and so on. He has to fight for the carrier and then to build it and then to keep it. One virtue a person need when fighting this constant battle is patience. Else part it wouldn’t be easy to full fill his dreams and the battles can cause weariness his soul and in turn can force him to quit the battle. Patience as such can be said to be one virtue that is lacking in many humans.


 It is the state of endurance under thorny situations. It can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without acting on annoyance or fury in a negative way; or exhibiting self-control when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties. Patience is the level of endurance one can take before negativity. It is also used to refer to the character trait of being steadfast. In short it is the ability to suffer well.  We need patience because we add suffering to suffering when we don’t suffer well. So be patient and learn the art of leading a better life.
