Patience is the one fruit that must be practiced to find out if one has it. Stand in a grocery checkout behind someone paying with food stamps and see if you are able to bring forth this fruit. There are many challenges that we face throughout the day when our rights loom as more important than someone else's. We are in a hurry; they are being stupid (etc.) - whatever it is - can we exercise this virtue? Only if we put it into practice, otherwise we will not have it. Try it and see! With patience comes rest.
