Here I will explain the path that I walk, and would like you to follow also. You must walk without hate or contempt. To hate is to kill, to be contempt is to be impatient.
You must be patient and unable to kill. You must see that fighting is caused by misunderstanding, which can be avoided with patience.
Master patience and you will master your mind, master your mind and you will own your tongue, own your tongue and you will become diplomatic, be diplomatic and you can avoid conflict, avoid conflict and you will be at peace.

This is amazing.

This is really good, I like it a lot, all of it. You're right.

Thank you for all your input...for those of you who were saying things about your inability to be patient or lack of patience in the present tense, I find the easiest way to grow patient is by going somewhere very quiet and just sitting...that's all...just sit...I used to do this all the time...I became exceptionally patient...if I ever feel like it I can go to the beach and sit there from sunrise to sunset without ever being bored. I've done it once before and it was quite an enlightening experience.

Interesting
Short, sharp and to the point if not a little bit misguided (In my opinion)
All in all though nice one.
If you want a sickening tale read "Pikeytown" for me and tell me what you think.
Nice job on this piece.
All the best.beginning: 3, language: 5, ending: 4, characters: 3.

hmmm....yeah I like it, and your thinking...keep writing

I absolutely agree with your philosophy. Thought I of course would be preaching to the choir if I were to tell people to be patient and they will be at peace. I am a completely impatient, especially with others; people are so utterly simple-minded and rejecting that I'd given up with patience long ago.
Great job, though! Thanks for sharing this! Keep it up!

I think this is a good grasp on philosophy...
...A very good grasp...
It's the kind I try to live by anyway.
Well done.

I agree with what you have written but it is so hard to have patience. When I was younger and free spirited, I had a lot of patience but now that I am older and involved with so many things and different personalities of people, patience is something you have to remaster in your life. I agree with your statement because I think sometimes you have to step back and ask yourself why you are being impatient. Is it the person you're dealing with, the situation your dealing with or is it you not being able to deal? Thank you for sharing your thoughts and welcome to Storywrite.

Sounds like you have it all figured out I'm too this way and that i suppose to be so well constructed
