We could all do with more patience and compassion – it would solve a lot of problems. 🙂

I think it could solve problems before they become problems. Or is that too simplistic of me?

I think so too. If people had more patience and tried to see someone else’s point of view, I think there would be less conflict in the world.

Patience and compassion. I remember those! They’ve gone by the wayside along with good manners and common sense. We definitely need to revive these and put them to good use.
