It’s a skill. Use it when need it.

Without patience a wine is just grape juice.

1mo

It’s just being too tired to start an argument.

1mo

Vitrue that we really need in today's society

1mo

We can all be patient enough with people or situations that we believe deserve the time invested; it is neither one nor the other, but a conscious choice.

1mo

Virtue, laziness is delayed action.

1mo

It's the one that is needed the most, but it's becoming increasingly rare. Because it needs to be "cultivated." Today, however, society continues to push people towards the immediate, everything and right away, from social media to lifestyle; we have immediate responses, quick things that have completely unaccustomed us to patience. And it's a great damage! Well, I greet the whole community and this morning I'm going to gather* some leaves out here, so I'll cultivate a bit of patience myself today 😃

Once, then twice. Repetitive actions turn habit, habits turn character.

Sometimes it's laziness.....or going into airplane mode

1mo

A highly developed virtue. It requires willpower.

Virtue. Time reveals everything and punishes everyone...

1mo

Patience is incredibly useful…but knowing when and how to use it is key 🙃

1mo

It is a virtue, alongside perseverance.

1mo

Maybe it's a virtue or it's just my nature, because I am the type of person who can't get angry, so I always stay patient and never get mad, and I always handle people who are emotional gently.

1mo

Definitely a virtue!

1mo

A skill you practice like everything else

1mo

is the author of these questions implying that delaying action is incompatible with virtue?

1mo

Are these questions genuine or AI generated? 🙄we can fo deeper than this, people.

1mo

Patience is a waste of time! When you want something, you grab it and do whatever it takes at that moment. (edited)

1mo

A virtue for sure.

1mo

I would hafta say its a virtue. Calling it a delayed reaction makes it sound like either procrastination, which could be a possibility or ineptitude also a possibility.

It's a virtue, no doubt. I was born at 8 months and didn't wait in that line before being born, it was way too long... lol

1mo

Patience is self control. You get better the more you use it and practice. However, everyone has their breaking point.

1mo

Patience is a good virtue to have, though sometimes patience can be delayed action caused by hesitation or fear.

1mo

Delayed action? Where are we here, glitch in the matrix? Patience is too important for such jokes.

1mo

A virtue if it is well used

1mo

It depends. If you're patient because you know the right moment will come, it's a virtue. If you're just unwilling to make a decision and sell that as "patience," it's actually just delayed action. 😅

1mo

It is a virtue for sure. When you care enough you try until the success will come
