Patience

I struggle with the entire concept of patience.

Timing I understand, waiting for the right moment either to strike or withdraw, waiting for a tactic or strategy to mature.

This I understand.

I suppose this is patience.

My lack of patience, I could not wait for things to mature as they should, was one of the reasons for my downfall.

I should have remembered the old Vietnamese proverb "Patience is the sole possession of the wise man"

Patience could also lead to soul possession for the wise man.
