Choices
Patience is like weight lifting; repetition causes growth, the ability to be more patient.
At any specific point in time, there will still be weights that you are unable to lift, burdens that you are unable to bear.
Situations arise where decisions must be made. Wisdom is needed to understand when to exercise patience.
The most obvious choice is always based on maximizing benefit to ourselves, but most often using superficial criteria.
The negative components of "the obviously most beneficial choice" are subconsciously but purposefully minimized to allow the favored choice to be made. These burdens can easily turn out to be too heavy once the choice is actualized.
