patience

[lotsofplants]

Ecclesiastes 3
1 TO every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

And I am not patient.

What are you not patient about this time?

Eh, patience is good--but is different from complacency. I think one should work for progress in one's life and the larger world. And often, that takes far more patience than the alternative.

Well put.

Good luck with the patience, plant. I have trouble with that too.

Not patient about most of them, actually. :/

And you are right. But I want them *now*! :)
