The Difference Between Patience & Waiting (Soul Star)
Ooooh – I love the topic this month. Must be coming up for my inspection. I have a huge tendency to be impatient. If I’m working on something, especially personal, inner, work, I want to get it done. I want “it” to be done, finished, accomplished, so I can move on. Most times I’m likely not even clear on just what it is I want to move on to, but that never seems to mitigate the impatience.
I decided to look up the dictionary definitions for a little distance and some clarity.
Waiting: the act of remaining inactive or stationary. Synonyms: Queuing, biding, sitting, lurking.
Patience: bearing pains or trials calmly or without complaint. The ability to wait or to continue doing something despite difficulties. Synonyms: Forbearance, long-suffering, tolerance.
This was easy. Waiting and queuing are part of the British culture, and although I believe generally people may be getting a little less sanguine, they’re still accustomed to, and tolerate, queuing. Make no mistake though, that tolerance does not extend to anyone trying to ‘que jump.’ It will be made known, with a loud “Oi” and in no uncertain terms, exactly where the back of the line is and that que jumpers should have no doubt about making their way in that direction! 🙂
Based on the two patience definitions I would say “What a perfect description for a Pisces!” I tend not to bear trials or pains, or indeed many, many other things, without complaint, and, I constantly receive compliments for my jewelry about just how much patience I must have to work with such tiny beads.
And to the right is a little example of my beading “patience.” 🙂
