4B Patience Prudence


Are we born with willpower or is willpower thrust upon us?

In our society I think nature and nurture both play a roll. You can be born as one human being. You can have certain beliefs that you carry around for most of your life. But there’s always going to be people out there in this world who change the way you think about certain aspects of life. For example I was raised Catholic, in the catholic faith it says you’re supposed to believe that being gay is wrong. But my family doesn’t follow those views. Our nature has changed because we don’t follow exactly what we are “supposed to believe”.

So now connecting to the articles these kids really only knew what their parents most likely had taught them to do. They either knew it was okay to do whatever they wanted because their parents never told them otherwise. Or they knew when someone says wait they knew to be patient.

Patience is really and truly a virtue that is very hard to achieve. I struggle a lot with patience. I am one of those people who hates when people are late. I understand if you’re five minutes late. If you’re more than that I become very, very impatient. It is absolutely ridiculous. I got this trait from my dad. He can’t deal with late people. He is more impatient than I am when it comes to this.
