I think seeing patience as a virtue is seeing it from a totally incorrect perspective.

Patience is an integral part of the human condition.

We have lost it through life and the speeding up of it -and the tensions added into our lives is because of the loss of patience.

If we start to see patience as a human condition, and something to be reclaimed as our, it empowers us.
It is already ours.

We own it, but have lost it.

The best way to find patience....(imo)

DO a big project, made up of tiny details (building a wall?)

And you MUST complete it.

Enforced, gentle, active repetition, brings patience back home to you....
