Suddenly, I thought about waiting.<\/p>\n
I’ve never been good at waiting for anything.<\/p>\n
For example,<\/p>\n
Waiting for a train.<\/p>\n
Waiting for a girlfriend.<\/p>\n
Waiting for a friend texting.<\/p>\n
Waiting for the right moment to do something important (like an exam or something that might have gone well if I had taken more time).<\/p>\n
And so on.<\/p>\n
There are many kinds of waiting in our lives.<\/p>\n
We can freely choose to wait or not.<\/p>\n
That’s why I feel waiting is so difficult.<\/p>\n
If you can wait without being offended, your life will change.<\/p>\n
If you are a couple, you will have fewer fights.<\/p>\n

\/\/\/\/Wait is Loving-Kindness\/\/\/\/<\/strong><\/p>\n Wait is important.<\/strong><\/p>\n Wait also means to be hospitable in Japanese.<\/strong><\/p>\n The meaning of the kanji for wait in Japanese is to hold something in one’s hands and to stop in the middle of the road, and it is also a word to prepare for what is to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n I felt that if I could just understand the meaning of waiting, the suffering I had been experiencing would disappear.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Because waiting is often painful.<\/p>\n Even if I gave love, it would not be returned, and if I could not wait, I would get impatient and do something that the other person did not want.<\/p>\n Even though I was still young, I was in a hurry because of my work and there were many things that could have worked out if I had waited a little longer.<\/p>\n Waiting is not just waiting for time to pass, but waiting while acting, preparing for that important event that will come.<\/p>\n This was the true meaning of waiting.<\/p>\n This was a revolutionary realization for me, as I had always thought that waiting was just a frustrating and wasting of time.<\/p>\n It brought back memories of a big fight I had with my ex-girlfriend a while ago.<\/p>\n At that time, I couldn’t wait for her, so I just left.<\/p>\n The reason why I couldn’t wait was because I was very self-centered, so to speak, but since I had to wait for another hour during the fight with her, I completely lost my temper.<\/p>\n At the time, I didn’t even think about the fact that waiting was a form of hospitality.<\/p>\n It was just that I was being kept waiting because I wasn’t worth it for her.<\/p>\n But recently, I thought about that waiting for others was a wonderful thing in life.<\/p>\n I felt that waiting fosters love-giving and compassion.<\/p>\n No matter what,<\/p>\n I’ve learned to think about things from different perspectives by waiting and seeing what happens.<\/p>\n I don’t mind waiting anymore.<\/p>\n I changed my thought it’s because I realized that waiting is loving kindness compassionate heart.<\/p>\n Let’s wait and prepare for the fun that will come next.<\/p>\n To do with you wait while you act.<\/p>\n You can wait while enjoying your coffee.<\/p>\n Take in the scenery.<\/p>\n If it’s an event that you have to wait a year or two for, wait while you work out, practice, and improve yourself until then.<\/p>\n If you can wait, you will be able to give loving to many things.<\/p>\n It will definitely enrich my life.<\/p>\n Zen Jin<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Suddenly, I thought about waiting.
