why is patience a virtue?

Patience is a virtue because it makes us better people. The definition of the word is to tolerate delay. This implies self control and forebearance as opposed to wanting what we want when we want it. How many times have we jumped the gun and found out it it would have been better to tolerate delay or had self control? What did we miss out on? Did we hurt someone because of lack of patience? Did our lives just change completely just because we couldn't control ourselves? Patience is not only a virtue but a necessity for a happy exisitience.

-That is something i found and by god it is right. This is something im proud of in the long run. It may hurt now a little but because i have patience there is no question in my mind all will work out. You will be happier including me. So I will sit back... laugh at your jokes, gaze into them big blue eyes, get lost in that smile, and exercise something im damn good at. Patience.
