One of my favorite things to witness while in traffic is when someone behind me
Violently switches lanes in an attempt to overtake me and those in front of me,
But end up even farther back than where they started because they fail to understand that they were already in the fastest-moving lane.
Granted, I don't know their emergency
But, otherwise it brings me this cynical sense of joy due to their misfortune. *Sinister laugh* Am I an asshole?
Oh also, when you're at a red light and the car beside you is
Anticipating it at turning green so it starts inching forward to get that rolling start
But then, the lights like: "Let me hit him with that Advance Left Turn!
AYEEAH!!!"
And then they're just awkwardly stuck in the middle of the intersection.
OOH..
Ironically, I can be guilty of this as well like those moments when you're at the checkout line
And you switch to the seemingly shorter one
But then there's some kind of price problem with a freaking
cucumber or something and then the line you left has now advanced way past where your original spot was so then you're like screw this
And you go back
But then the cucumber line becomes free and now your lane is the one that stuck because the person in front of you can't get
their debit card to work!!
*Angry Dom*
Oh boy, I sure wish I had the ability to reverse time and return to my original spot in exchange for a bit of my life span.
(Damn, That sounds familiar.)
It's moments like this that remind me how important patience is. Regardless if you're Christian or not
Or if you practice any religion that articulates its value, patience is truly a virtue. I believe time is the most valuable
Currency we have. Time is literally money. That's why we spend it. We spend time at school,
We spend time at work,
We spend time with friends and family, My animators and I spend time working on these videos,
And you guys spend time watching them, and I greatly appreciate that. But unlike actual tangible money,
We can't exactly invest time expecting to get more time back.
It's not something we can put in our savings account and withdraw when we're retired
Expecting to live longer and experience what we couldn't in the past. Wow, that sounds like it could be a good hypothetical. Hmm...
We live in a time of immediacy and with the exponential growth of technology
We're being nurtured to expect that results meet our demands right away, If not instantly it's not a negative thing
I mean we have cars, because we can't all walk to work when it's a few cities away.
We have cell phones, because we don't all have trained pigeons to send letters with.
We have ovens and microwaves, because they ain't nobody got time to always cook with a bonfire
Its all convenience. If I have Amazon Prime and it gives me the option to ship it tomorrow for free, or two days later for free
What do you think I'm gonna pick?
Yeah that's right, same-day shipping.
I
I WANT MY THING
I WANT MY THING TO-DEEEHHH!!
Cliche-ass Guy: BUT DOM, other people in the world are unfortunate and don't have access or can't afford these COnvenIEnceZZ!!
Yeah, I know, I understand that. And I'm not making a point to undermine those people.
I'm just stating where our current level of available consumer technology is, but we haven't perfected convenience yet.
I don't think we ever will. We, as a species are
Insatiable and there will always be something we believe we can do faster or more efficiently. And when we come across those
Situations when we experience delay, that's when we start testing our patience. Like I said,
"Time expensive and valuable."
And it's something we don't exactly earn, but possess from the beginning and slowly lose through the course of our life a lot of things
are out of our control and as a result we lose some of that given time and
That's okay, and accepting that it is okay. Is what patience is. I believe patience is developed through time
Ironically you have to spend time to understand
What being patient means it's a product of overcoming
Disappointment you learn to teach yourself that when you've done all you can in a situation and it's still not going your way
There's no point in being angry or sad about it
I mean you'll feel a bit of stress initially
But you'll come to realize that the outcome will be more or less the same
Whether you're emotional or not the traffic doesn't move quicker if you honk your horn
Everyone is in a mutual understanding
That the point of getting on the road is to get off of it the cake won't bake faster
if you set the heat higher than it should be you will just burn it and have to start over if
You're seated at the back of the plane don't expect to get out first just because you unbuckled your seatbelt before the plane even landed
This applies our interactions with others as well be patient with people we aren't all
always on the same page
And you can't expect everyone to have been exposed to the same privileges as you have you may have obvious
Advantages over someone so maybe cut him some slack and let them catch up you don't contribute to anything when you stand ahead of someone
And trip them when they're already behind not everything is a competition
impatience only gives power to whatever current problem you have you have the thing causing you to be impatient and that
Impatience fuels the thing and it becomes an infinite cycle until you decide to break it
But how long are you supposed to tolerate the way when has it been too long you're probably asking
Unfortunately, that's up to you and your judgment on a case-by-case
Basis there really isn't a formula for it like time plus empathy over seven multiplied by ego
I don't know
It's more so for your mental health if things need to get done then so be it if you're waiting for the bus
But it's an hour late, then there's definitely a problem
Or you looked at the schedule wrong if you're waiting for your tinder date
And they haven't replied to your text since breakfast either you got stood up or you might want to report a missing person
If you have a driver update, and it says it's gonna take a few minutes, but it's been six hours
Then that's way past being a patience issue please don't turn off your computer during installation. Nope you're holding me hostage
Ain't nobody got time. Yeah, that's right. I restarted my computer when it told me not to and it works perfectly okay now
