darcydodoIs patience really a virtue? I mean, couldn't it be that someone out there's trying to trick us into being patient by telling us this, when really we should be as impatient as possible? I say this only because I'm amazed at precisely how difficult it is to wait two days to watch the Angel episodes I've just downloaded, simply because I'm going to watch them with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
girlwithjournal — but then again, does that count as patience, or as being nice to one's friends?
Really, I'm sure that deep moral implications hinge on these issues, and I fear for my hypothetical soul if I somehow don't manage to properly resolve such dilemmas. Not that I'm going to watch the episodes — I don't want to makegirlwithjournal jealous or unhappy — but I think to a certain extent it's the desire to watch them in the first place that's problematic. And I think this is a question of patience.
Just how much am I babbling?

patience is also hypothetical. even real patience. if you are telling yourself to be patient, you aren't actually being patient--you are simply working on self-control.
