Patience is a virtue
I am not sure who said it or who agreed that this was a good saying but to me patience is something I usually do not have. It is hard for me to sit around and do absolutely nothing. I have to trick myself into thinking I am accomplishing things by playing video games that require some sort of ascension or progression or watching a series tv program. Otherwise I feel that I am wasting my time, even though these things are probably more of a waste of time. To have patience is to be able to wait for things to happen, and sometimes this sounds like a wonderful skill. Although, I believe it is human nature to avoid such situations. When we are little Christmas seems to take forever to come, when we are elderly we drive 50 mph in the fastlane of the freeway(however this is not always the case). Someone once said "start living or strat dying" a phrase which I interpret to mean get moving with action and start something or you are really just waiting to die. It is quotes like these that can either be cliche and boring or put someone on this whole other level of understanding of the situation and bring deep meaning into an otherwise dull and shallow conversation. It takes a certain skill to determine when to use these phrases to encact the latter, but such an action can be full circle bringing meaning to the conversation about bringing meaning to one's life. I get so deep in these sort of things,these thoughts, thinking about the world philosophically too bad noboady pays you to think like Aristotle. 1 time does...no money tho :( I'm patiently waiting for my time to shine, law school to start, and life to enter it's next chapter. I'm not stuck in neutral I haven't even turned the car on yet, I need an engine and some wheels.
