Patience, idle contentment with no visible distress. Composure within oneself, be it taking yourself to another world, disconnecting, or merely letting the emotions wash past you.
Over time with similar actions being unfolded before you will condition and numb. Some take it as a pause for their turn to reengage and then there's those that are never truly there to have what should have been the need or use for patience.
As fast as we live today the idea of patience is an admirable notion and even rarer when displayed. Waiting is becoming a past time that few can appreciate let alone exemplify.
Patience also has variable degrees and is weighted by the person, situation, time period, and circumstance. This is yet another measure of time that we either pacify or neglect based on our preferences or conveniences.
Nine months is either the majority of a year or a mere glimpse when a child is born. Eighteen years is close to a fifth of a century or only the beginning of a teenagers life. Thirty years of marriage is a life time or just like yesterday. Five generations or ten decades or a century, they are all the same and yet can feel leagues differently.
We all gage things differently and expect what we expect from our past, but just like everything else that we have control of it too can be conditioned and practiced to be to the desired settings. You just have to be patient.
