Are you currently waiting for an event to take place, an opportunity to appear, rain to stop, or maybe time to pass by faster so that you can go home?
Waiting is such conventional, challenging, yet privilege.
Numerous studies have shown that waiting invades at least 70% of time in our whole life.
It’s a cruel truth because we waste so much of our life time just waiting. Perhaps we are all trained by this society the moment we are born. We have to line up to buy tickets, wait for the food after ordering it, wait for the bus to come on schedule, wait for the government to approve an application, wait for the surgery date, even wait for the grand prize of lottery would fall on us someday. We are so used to it that we live with it without even notice it. Although sometimes we complain about it, aren’t we already accept it as part of our everyday life?
Maybe you argue that waiting challenges your patience. Perhaps you are desperately waiting for a loved one to come home or call you. In other words, isn’t it a privilege to have someone you love to wait for? Millions of people out there are heart-broken. They don’t even have this good fortune.
Yes, I think I’m very fortunate. My beloved boyfriend will be arriving here tomorrow noon. I can’t WAIT to see him.
I’m sitting at the patio, sipping my latte—the phone rings.“Hello Susan, are you here yet? I’ve been waiting for you for half an hour!”
