I am cultivating my patience these few days. Patience to listen to complains and grumbling. Patience required to counsel one who is not listening. I have wanted to give up, throw in the towel and say “do as you wish, since you are the one suffering anyway”…
Yet if I was to take a step back and evaluate, the situation is actually a very good one for me to practice my patience. Good qualities are not cultivated by sitting on a cushion. It needs to be put into practice, through interaction with the ‘real’ world.
Now is the time for me to develop my patience, and I will work hard at it. Jia you!
