To give them a lesson. In patience.

Patience is a virtue. And I have it. I show patience with other people. But often they don't show patience with me. They are too demanding. They want something done right away. Not in 10 minutes. Often, that's all I ask for. A mere 10 minutes. I'm ready to acquiesce. To grant their wish. If only they give me 10 minutes. In essence, I'm asking them to show a little bit of patience. I'm not saying wait 'til tomorrow or next week. Only 10 minutes. But they are in a hurry. They can't wait. And that's utter nonsense. So even if I don't need 10 minutes, I'd rather make them wait. To give them a lesson. In patience. --Jim Broede
