What is the extreme level of patience?

Patience and un-assuming goes hand in hand.

Suppose you are waiting for your friend to show up. It’s been 15 minutes and you get tired.

You leave her a message that you are waiting and she is late. You start to bother yourself. Perhaps get a little angry. This is the most common reaction.

Being extremely patient means to not assume anything why the person is late. Not bothering via call or message to know how much time to wait. You simply wait till she comes. And then you don’t ask for any explanation. You get on with the things you want to do and that’s it.

That might be extreme level of patience.

In ideal world, this should be expected out of everyone. But you ain’t living in one, so this should pass as an extreme for test in patience.
