The problem with patience
By Donna J. Jodhan

There seems to be a definite problem with patience these days. There used
to be a time when patience seemed to be a virtue, but not anymore. In days
gone by, many of us seemed to have more than enough patience to go around.
We had time to speak to each other, write to each other, and to socialize
with each other.

We had more than enough patience to help each other, explain things to each
other, listen to each other, empathize with each other, and stand up for
each other. In short, up until not too long ago, we had more than enough
patience to go around to cover each other's back. Not anymore! Patience
seems to be a thing of the past.

We seem to be woefully short on patience these days. We lose patience when
babies cry for more than a minute. We no longer seem to have the patience
to explain things to each other. We don't have enough patience to deal with
long lines and queues, heavy traffic, long or detailed emails, long or in
depth conversations, and frustrating phone calls. We no longer seem to have
the patience for tolerance, respect, or discipline.

Whatever happened to patience? Is it because maybe and just maybe, we have
gotten ahead of ourselves? We have become a bit too selfish for our own
good? We need to bring patience back and make it a priority. What the
world needs now is patience, sweet patience!
