"Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you sit down quietly, may alight upon you."
- Nathaniel Hawthorne -
Patience has never really been every man's virtue. As if in a silent rush, we frantically search that something - whether it's love, inner peace, happiness or whatever our heart desires, which almost always eludes us. We then end up even more bothered, frustrated and disappointed in our pursuit of personal contentment. Life's passions and desires are never really within reach. Sometimes it takes days only, weeks, months or a while longer or maybe even a lifetime. Sometimes we still have to look for it or work hard for it. Sometimes though, we just have to wait patiently. If it's really meant to be, the right time will come even when we least expect it. And if it does, maybe it's going to be worth the long wait.
