Why so many patience needed?

Too many selfishness, too many arrogances, too many jealousies, too many lies, they’re all trying to tell you wrong when you aren’t, bring you down, step over you, sometimes all of them come together in a day, even from different mediums and you question why so many things around that a big capacity of patience is on demand.. that you doubt if there would still be victory if you practice again such patience, tolerance and forgiveness as always, while knowing that do evil would just bring nowhere than just temporary relief and make bigger problem out of what is already there….. why is this all and whats the good ending for good act………………………it’s so frustrating when you think you’ve been so nice and you’re still ‘demanded’ to be nicer……...

    I am not quite sure what it is you desire but I can tell you I live in a very different world. In my world people are supportive, encouraging, helpful, sincere, honest, trustworthy etc. etc.. The only demands we see, hear, and feel are those to accomplish the experience of your desires.

    If you do know better than you do have the responsibility of knowing others do not nor can they ever understand you and you must act accordingly so as to respect the feelings of others. At one time I was an experienced miner teaching some new miners how to drill holes in the wall of the cave. The drill got stuck and I knew how to unstick it but my students never encountered such a solution and almost had heart attacks when I loosened the drill rod from the hole. We were several miles underground and I didn't take into consideration the fear they felt at being there in the first place. Have you ever had really scared humans in your face? If you are smarter than take into consideration the fact that you have that knowledge and it can be helpful to all man but not in a way that shoves it down their throats. If you want to lead others to the light then you must be that light and show the love and patience that comes with the gift.

    Everything you say here is focused on others. It sounds to me like you are close to being fed up with the expectations of other people. Well ... good!

    It's not "their" fault, by the way. "They" are not interested in your happiness; they are interested in *their* happiness. You are the one who's made the mistake. You're expected them to live for you. Stop it.

    Take back control of your spirit and life. Stop looking to others for validation. If you are nice and you think you are nice enough, then you don't need someone else's opinion to confirm it. This is true of everything in life. And here's another thing that's true: if your friends (or whoever "they" are) aren't making you feel good about yourself, then they aren't your friends. Go find new ones.
