Of course, each of us has heard at least something about patience and its importance in life. You may have even heard that sometimes patience bursts like a balloon. In fact, a symbolic phrase is a stable phrase. We will consider it in some detail.
The value of patience
In the subheading, we intentionally did not put this word in quotation marks, because in this section we will talk about both the meaning of the word "patience" and the phenomenon behind it. Let's start with the dictionary data so that we have some ground under our feet. So he offers the following interpretations:
- The ability to endure (in the first meaning).
- Perseverance, perseverance and endurance in some business, work.
As you can see, without interpreting the verb, we cannot penetrate the mystery of the meaning of the phraseologism "patience has run out." Well, it's not an insurmountable barrier. The first meaning of the verb "endure" is the following: to endure suffering, pain, inconvenience without a murmur and steadfastly. We will not hide the fact that we slightly concretized the meaning. Key inpatience is that it is important perseverance and perseverance. Without them, unfortunately, patience will run out, but the phrase will have a completely different meaning.
Musical metaphor
Strange title, huh? Never mind, everything will be clear soon. What do you think, do the phraseological units “patience burst” and “nerves are stretched like strings” have something in common? We think that the main thing here is the musical metaphor. In the center stands the image of a guitar, probably acoustic rather than electric. But you can represent anyone. By the way, one more adjoins these two phraseological units - “play on the nerves”. That's what they say when they're testing someone's patience.
Strings are a delicate and capricious subject, you just pull them a little, and that's all - write wasted: the strings are torn. Nerves are also a sensitive subject, although variations are possible here. No wonder they say that some nerves are like ropes. And the latter are not so easy to break. But such a device of the nervous system is a rarity. Usually people lose their temper easily. First, we will look at how it happens that patience bursts, and then we will learn how to avoid it.
New life of phraseologism and old problems
After Ella Pamfilova's "patience ran out", the dust was shaken off the idiom and it was decided to find out its meaning. Well, if the reader is interested, we are happy to help him. Actually, the value is considered a little higher. However, we can repeat, it is not difficult for us. So they say when a person loses his temper and falls into extreme irritation. By the way, usually what annoys is repeated with some (fair)periodicity.
If you resort to exaggeration and absurdity, then the following will come out. Let's imagine that a person is beaten in the face, as in Kharms' miniature. And then they beat him once - he continues, they beat him again - he continues. And when they beat again - patience snapped. By the way, Kharms' miniature is called "Lecture".
It happens in life too. Annoyance builds up as his object comes into view again and again. For example, dirty socks of the husband or constant absenteeism of the son at school. If once, then you might think: "Well, it happens." Then, when it becomes systematic, such “trifles” seriously strain the nerves, and they, as a rule, are torn. What to do? Answer next.
How to avoid an emotional outburst
Let's say you feel like your patience is about to run out. How to behave? You should immediately discuss, if possible, your emotions with someone who is the source of your irritation. True, if we are talking about work or study, nothing can be done here. You need to either change school (or job), or endure until the end. Situations are different, so breakdowns still happen.
The advantage of the method is that you can immediately solve problems, without waiting for them to destroy the family. After all, any little thing can grow to cosmic proportions, and it will no longer matter how and why it happened.
Need to remember: discussing your condition is a real way out of the situation of total irritation.
Offers
- Keep in mind that my patience is about to run out and I will kick you all out!
- Don't wait for his patience to run out and he'll fire the coach. The latter has a great credit of trust from the management.
- When patience, regrettably, bursts in an emotional person, then save yourself who can.
Of course, the reader may have expected to see here a sentence that asks when the patience of the Russian people will run out, but it will not be here, because it is too difficult to answer. If we look into history, we will understand: the farther from the present moment, the easier it was for the people to decide on an uprising. In addition, he had nothing to lose in those distant times. Now it is more difficult to decide on any violence: people have something to lose, and they are tired of blood in the 20th century. This is if you answer the question very briefly.
The Ideal of Patience
When the essence of the issue is clarified and even examples of use are selected, the question always arises of which guideline to choose. That is, who can be looked up to as the ideal of humility and wisdom? The question is difficult. And I would not want to go into religious distances and remember Jesus or Buddha. It is important, as it seems, to choose a character that would be, on the one hand, very modest, and on the other, bright.
Our reality, believe it or not, is filled with heroes. Isn't an elementary school teacher or a nursery nanny showing patience? Doesn't a wise master of martial arts do the same thing when children of four or five years old are brought to him? Another thing is how they achieve it. Sometimes endurance is the result of training, sometimes it is given by nature: this is how temperament and character are combined.
Can patience be developed?
Everything is possible, but the key here is motivation. You need to clearly understand your problem. If your patience breaks for any reason, then you are too angry and you would do well to visit a psychologist or such a specialist, as in the movie "Anger Management" (2003).
It's different when there are real annoying factors. Talking and relieving constant tension will help here when it comes to interaction between personalities. Social institutions and organizations do not require such a decision, they cannot be “talked to”. In such cases, a person can only work with his own consciousness - to change his attitude to the situation. For example:
- If work is annoying, find something good in it (other than salary).
- If public places and crowds are annoying, then take a book or something to distract you.
In other words, you can always think and find a way out if you don't give in to emotions. The latter are evil, especially the negative ones. It is not for nothing that the Strugatskys in The Distant Rainbow express the idea that the fusion of machine and man is the ideal of the latter, because emotions do not interfere. Think about it at your leisure. Our mission accomplished.
