I just found out today that in this Timeline “Patience is a virtue” is actually a quite common expression.
And I do have to say I think it’s a good one.
In my timeline the expression used to be “Humility is a virtue.”
Which I also thought was a good one.
But you’ve got to understand what true humility really is.
It’s essentially just being entirely open and honest about yourself, with yourself, and with others.
But here it seems like everyone thinks it means something more like never admitting to anything good about yourself. Or in other words always accentuating your own faults and making yourself out to be less than you really are.
That’s not humbling yourself, and personally I don’t consider such false humility to be a virtue at all.
From what I can tell true humility is rarely seen in this timeline and all too often is really just pride wearing a fake mustache.
