Patience is the passing of time

This blog will be short and simple but I hope it conveys the message properly.

Every teacher has been taught. Every fighter has been fought. Every speaker has been spoken to. In every thing that we do it has been done to us already. As the writer of Ecclesiastes wrote, there is nothing new under the sun. I believe that the shorter the wait the less learning there is that had to be learned. For those who are impatient it seems as if even the simplest life lessons are long learned but of course this is the very reason why the lessons are long.

How long will it take for the world to realize that history repeats itself in cycles? Time is a cycle. Every day has a beginning and an end to it but some people seem to miss that portion of the day...every day. The moment the world realizes that there is a definite beginning and end to each day, life will begin to move at the speed of eternity. That last sentance in itself is a lifetime long learning.

I believe that patience is the reason why one person can go from rags to riches literally overnight while another person has the same opportunities but never actually reaches that full potential. A wise proverb says that the poor stay poor because the rich steal their crops but who says that a poor man can't learn to be rich and teach others to do the same. It would take extreme patience for a poor man under those harsh conditions to learn to become rich but if he is willing to learn it is totally possible.

To conclude I should answer this question which was already answered in the title: What is patience?  History always repeats itself because it is based on time which is cyclical. If you are willing to wait you can learn anything under the sun because there is nothing new under the sun. Even the poor may have their fill of riches and the rich their fill of poverty. But the wise shall become wiser and the foolish shall perish. But both have time in common and in the end patience is the passing of time. So maybe the best question to ask is, "Who has the patience to wait for time?"
