WHAT'S WRONG WITH WAITING ? ? ?

Do you realise: People just can't wait?

In traffic jams, drivers are impatient and change lanes hoping to outsmart the other vehicles (except motorcyclists!).

In supermarket queues, customers are irritated when the cashier encounters a hiccup. And somehow, we all suffer from the "Born Loser" syndrome --- we always seem to be in the slowest moving line!

When friends are late for a date, we start to be anxious. Yet when they appear, we get angry instead of feeling relieved they are well and alive!

How come?

I think we need to learn THE WISDOM OF WAITING.

Waiting is a time of silence and space.
We have made it a time of stress!

Waiting is a time to renew our strength and our sanity.
We have made it a time for rage and anger, intolerance and impatience.

Waiting is a time to persevere and perceive people and situations in a different light.
We have made it a time for destructive and negative thoughts --- we give up and quit!

So....let's learn to wait....WHY NOT ? ? ?
