PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE. A virtue is behavior showing high moral standards. Patience is a quality that is definitely in short supply and isn’t necessarily taught anymore by parents or mentors. I don’t point this out without being a sufferer of impatience myself, but we are living in “gotta have what I want right now” times and nothing short of complete internet outage looks to change that.
