Answer 2

none................at least you have someone to wait for its worth it

Answer 3

Only as much as a person allows.

Waiting can be used for all kinds of things.  Meditation.  Reading.  Work (too often).  Talking to the people around you (human relations are important too).  Talking on the phone.  I could go on and on.

Answer 4

62 minutes a day.

Statisticians have estimated that in a lifetime of 70 years, the average person spends at least three years waiting!

Waiting, an inevitable and even necessary aspect of human life is not something that most of us relish. We wait in lines: in order to purchase groceries; to be served at popular restaurants; to be attended to in a bank; at stop signs and traffic signals; at amusement parks; to see a play or film.

We must also wait for flowers to grow and bloom; for babies to be born; for wounds to heal; for bread to rise and cheese to age; for children to mature; for friends to call; for love to deepen.
