#501 - #29 - Patience…. (What’s that supposed to mean?)


“Patience!!!” …. Just be “patient”!

Why? …. What do I do in the meantime?

Do I ……

a. Wait for a change?
b. How long should I wait?
c. What happens if a change does not seem to be “occurring”?
d. What if I am suffering while the “change” has not occurred?

Suppose I just wait…..

a. Do I “withdraw” in the meantime? (Do I just crawl into a shell?)
b. Do I continue my “suffering”?
c. Do I mentally “drop out”?

What “exactly” do you mean when you say “Be Patient”?
Don’t you think that the answer lies in a discussion of what this word really means?

What do you want me to do?
What do you want me to think?

This is a fine “generality” that “means nothing”!!!

Next time you’re going to use this “phrase”, please think about these questions!




P.S.

Perhaps “patience” could mean “not in a hurry!” ……(NO! “Not ever”.... but, “not in a hurry”!)
