letters (patience)

What is patience, what is definition and what is interpretation, what is the truth about it and what are the false assumptions? The people who use that ward, in most cases use it in a manner to cover up their incompetence and they use it “because they are incompetent”. So, what that means in turn, is that they present patience… as a false virtue, something to be worshipped.

Moreover, often laziness and unwillingness to perform under the pressure and to perform fast, hidden under the mask of patience. Waste of time is not patience even if it dressed like it.

In fact, a lot of people are unable to differentiate between patience and cover-ups. And this is understandable. The average person lacks the tools he needs to understand his actions in the perspective of time, in the moment when that action takes place. And this is only the time when the direction could be adjusted and outcomes could be changed.

However there is a true patience. If it understood correctly and cultivated, it becomes a virtue. It is the patience of a silent snake before the attack, a frozen tiger before the jump, a stillness of the finger on the trigger. A moment of hesitation before the final decision has been made, before the point of no return has been crossed.

There are certain elements required for an effective performance: knowledge, practice, ability, desire, determination and more. It is general knowledge. But then some runners run faster and win the prize, while others with the same skills and determination left behind. There is only one element which transforms the performance into art. And that element is missing in the later case. It is patience.

The patience allows the performer to capture the moment in time when the universal forces are in sync and the direction is favorable…..
