One is patience with circumstances . There are times when a chain of events relentlessly runs its course to put you in such a position. The important thing is to learn to handle it as practically and graciously as possible. Losing your temper or looking for something or someone to blame is a dead-end approach. A second kind of patience we are often called upon to exercise is patience with others .
People do make mistakes.
They sometimes act foolishly or even act badly. Naturally, we are resentful when someone else's actions put us in a bind. But, once again, temper tantrums can have only negative results. They won't help solve the problem. Handling the matter graciously and practically again makes sense.
