Читать книгу The Hypocrisy Of Humanity And The Philosophies Of A Millennial - John Koen - Страница 10

In life we need patience, we all are patient in ways as well, such as death, we are all patiently waiting for the day we die, we just don’t really focus on that, and that is good, keep your mind preoccupied. We need to have patience because time is not on our side, so try and take your life slowly to fully accomplish your dreams and desires.

As an actor, I always believe that my time will one day come, all I have to do is be patient and remain positive. No matter what you want to do with your life, patience. Patience is a virtue is what I have heard many times in my life, and it really is. Life is too short, but we have no choice but to be patient. Be patient with everyone, even though some people may drive you mad or crazy, sooner or later they will cease to be in your presence for that time. Life is tough and the people we know or meet, can be a bit of a problem for us, but just move on and remember that the moments with that person is temporary.

While I was in college and wanted to change my major, I was thinking of majoring in psychology and thought about being a therapist, but I realized that I have no patience for other people, even though the money would be great. Therapists ask for lots of money for their sessions, yet all they do is sit and listen and say something near the end that is so short. I questioned if I wanted to do that, I thought to myself, “do I want a job, that makes me look like a crook?” I did not want that, it’s primarily for the reason that I don’t believe in therapy, I would believe that therapy is for clueless people who can’t figure out their own problems in life, yet I have always wanted to go to therapy just to see how it is, but never want to pay for it, just shadow or participate. As crazy as it sounds, I have always wanted to go to a problematic meeting like an alcoholics anonymous’ meeting, just to see how it is in real life, I see it many times in films, but would like to attend one to experience. Those people have to have tons of patience if they want to get rid of their addiction, it would be nice if it was as quick as a snap of fingers, but nothing is that fast.

I would frequently make jokes about patience, my favorite one is: “you don’t need patience, patience are for doctors.” Just to light the mood for impatient people, which is everyone, no big deal. Sometimes when you want something done, and done quickly, it may not be as good as the person who takes his or her time. That’s true but, time is money, the faster you complete your task, the next task is towards your direction. My parents are impatient with me not getting married and having children, I tell them to find me anyone they want, and I will marry her and have kids, but they will have to pay for the wedding, honeymoon, divorce and child support because I did not want any of that shit. They best have patience with that and wait.

I really hate the fact that we have to wait for just about everything, we wait in the hospital, doctor’s office, restaurants, lines, for a response, for grades, etc. we all have to wait which pisses many people off, me especially. Now I get that other people are involved but hurry up, you’re not the only one. I really don’t understand waiting in the emergency department or doctor’s office, we had an appointment, take us in our appointment and not a minute after, emergency department, you have so many empty rooms, you’re not full, just full of shit, we should not wait, this is an emergency, help. Then we wait for the doctor to come in, and they come ing for less than 5 minutes, if you have a shortage of doctors, then make medical schools less private and less harder to get in. In restaurants we wait for service, for our food, fine, but when we wait on waiters, then there is a problem, we have been sitting here for 15 minutes and we have read the menu 3 times, serve us. The fact that we have to wait all of the time, is bullshit, hurry up people, we’re waisting time on you.

In this life, we all should have patience for things, not all things, but some. Our lives are short so try and do everything as quickly and diligently as possible, so you don’t have to worry about it anymore. Also, don’t tell people to be patient you hypocrite, we are all in a hurry because we can drop dead any moment, so hurry up and achieve everything that you want.
