Why Patience is a Virtue

Patience is the remembrance of the identifications of others and who they must be, implying an immediate forgiveness above and beyond mere magnanimity. Through Perseverance’s moment of Awareness, Patience accepts delays due to differences, based in the realisation of how little is controllable. It is not passive resignation but active understanding, a willingness to wait for the right moment.

In a world that values instant gratification, Patience offers the only counterpoint. In patience, we value time and process, in appreciation that worthwhile growth and Excellence, witnessed and attempted, often comes through waiting and observing. This virtue upholds resilience and composure in the face of uncertainty, with a greater faith. Patience gives space for the development of Excellence in others.
