I know many people need this, as a way to cope. Patience is a lifelong endeavor, and takes time to build up a reserve, to withstand the onslaught.
This too shall pass, is close to a rallying cry or call, when necessary, giving me at least a bit more patience, as well as an example of what is possible.
Perhaps life has merely given me so many opportunities to practice patience, that it has just become natural.
