The importance of patience didn't dawn to me until my focus was brought back from a long lecture for a second when my English Professor yelled "Patience" during the explanation of a chapter.
"Patience! Patience is very important in life!" I heard her shouting.
This short, probably unintentional phrase that she muttered might have been a pure coincidence but it clicked something in my mind that got me thinking.
I traveled back home in a gloomy face with a thought that disturbed me. I looked out of the bus window and saw some people fighting about each other's driving skills. They didn't have the patience to wait till the traffic signal allowed them the right of way. And so they inconvenienced everyone.
The world would've been so much more different if we all had patience.
Later that day, I went to the mall to buy some stationary and at the cashier, some people were fighting about the price of the products that they had just purchased. After I checked my bill and received my bag back from the luggage counter I saw another person loudly yelling at the customer care manager with a furious red face. I looked around at the reactions of the other customers around me, I looked at the scared hopeless staff in front of that person.
Maybe the world really would've been a better place if we had the love to be patient to each other.
