I find as I get older that my patience grows younger. Why do I say younger? Our grandchild was here over Thanksgiving and though she is a wonderful, well adjusted child with parents that do a wonderful job rearing her, patience is not one of her virtues (I believe this can be said of most younger people). I used to believe patience came with age and knowledge but as I age I see the folly of this belief and think I have come to understand what leads to impatience or the lack of patience, it is stupidity! Not stupidity on the part of the person lacking patience but stupidity on the part of others. Let me give a perfect example, the stupidity in Washington DC causes me to loose my patience on a daily basis!!!
