Why is the art of patience important in life?

Answer 1

patience is a virtue.

Answer 2

Hey Lola- I like the way you refer to patience as an art, because I agree it is nothing short of an artform. It is not something that comes easily!

It is important because life will throw many obstacles at you and you have to learn to deal with them somehow, before the next time it happens. Patience is the 'foam' that distinguishes the 'fire' of anger.

Answer 3

If you couldn't feel it, you wouldn't get it.  Get it?

Because it helps you to make rational decision before you express your self.Hence you avoid causing  hurt and harm to the listener.

In other words,It enables you to get connected with your senses before you speak out.
