\"pick<\/a><\/p>\n

I have many times been referred to as a patient man. And just as often I receive that label with a happy sense of accomplishment. And yet, when some people blanketly refer to patience as a virtue, I\u2019m often left wondering about those circumstances when people take advantage of patience. Or I wonder about times in my life where my employing patience was really just a method of delaying needed conflict with someone who was growing to take more and more advantage of me. <\/p>\n

I believe in the end, the variety of patience that is indeed a virtue is more akin to the patient application of faith when doubting a trusted course of action; or the application of patient endurance when awaiting the fruits of hard work or discipline. However when confronted with an agonizingly slow clockwork of justice coming back around on someone who \u201chas it coming<\/a>\u201d, I have felt more than once that to show more patience towards someone who is being rude, or uncivil, or downright bullying about treating me as a doormat for their selfish urge to climb the ladder of success upon my work, or upon my \u201cpatience\u201d, is actually a species of cowardice. I would not want to be treating someone that way, and if I did I would want them to tell me and to stop me \u2013 the golden rule<\/a>. <\/p>\n

There really ought to be two different words for these two types of \u201cpatience\u201d: One being to define patience associated with trusting in God and having faith in character and in the slow wonderment of seeing nature at work; and the other type wherein one simply endures unjust suffering or rude treatment like a polite doormat as being some other word more akin to the slang usage of words like \u201cpussy\u201d or the phrase \u201cspineless doormat\u201d etc. I suspect there may be a Yiddish term that might apply here, but put this in the bank, \u201cPatience is a virtue\u201d is a phrase that needs a few qualifiers when applied by someone trying to manipulate you. <\/p>\n
