Sunday Reflection: Impatient at Advent

How many times have you met someone who acted or proclaimed being too busy to have patience and found them totally insufferable?
Patience takes an impressive mental discipline and a willingness to see outside whatever it is that brings about impatience. I see though how impatience to do good is not bad at all to have on one's side.
However in the case of someone waiting for the bus, say...in Detroit, impatience will not take them anywhere sooner, just make the wait feel longer and immeasurably more miserable.

Slow change often is a longer lasting change. Patience is required when the goal is to change minds. I believe that in your situation, where everyone is of like mind, pressing for action is the appropriate and the just thing to do.
