Zach LarkinsPatience: the Virtue?
I nominate the art of patience as an endangered rudimentary social skill.
It is a dying artform, only practised by a scarce number of bipeds in remote areas. Their ability to tone down their 'narcissistic uber-importance' level, allowing the local barista a few more minutes on their skinny soy decaffe latte, is what separates the Practising Patient from the rest. Demonstrating extreme caution in the most time-consuming and stressful situations, such as; waiting in line, waiting for service and waiting for the machine cycle to end, these gods amongst mortals have the amazing ability to hold themselves together when their meals are taking just that little bit too long to come out of the kitchen.
But where have the PP developed these astounding skills? Well, thanks for asking Jeff!
Patience, the most devastating move in a Practising Patient's bag of tricks has been handed down from generations by-gone. Normal human beings, that's right, people just like you and me actually demonstrated the act of patience some time ago. We know this by archeological remains found of several etcho-sketches with amazing illustrations on them, demonstrating an early form of hand-eye patience in humans. What seems to have happened, and this is what some scientists have coined the 'missing link' between us and the PP is the evolution of the 3 nueron pathways (me, Me and mE) in human brains. This is responsible for certain characteristics such as awareness of only oneself, tunnel vision, and selfishness respectively. It appears that over the years as the evolutionary changes began to occur, the younger generations ceased to learn certain skills from the elders such as the art of patience, due to the fact they felt they didn't have enough time, didn't want to listen and were too busy doing other things. Thus Patience was lost to humankind.
Moral of the story..........
Don't be a Fuck, wait another minute for your coffee or baguette!
