Of course, each of us heard at least something about patience and its importance for life. You may even have 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 subtitle, we deliberately did not quote this word, because in this section we will talk about the meaning of the word “patience” and the phenomenon behind it. Let's start with the dictionary data so that we have the ground under our feet. So he offers the following interpretations:
- The ability to endure (in the first sense).
- Perseverance, perseverance and endurance in some business, work.
As you can see, without interpreting the verb we cannot penetrate into the secret of the meaning of phraseology “patience has burst”. Well, this is not an insurmountable barrier. The first meaning of the verb “endure” is as follows: meekly and steadily endure suffering, pain, inconvenience. We will not hide the fact that we slightly specified the meaning. The key to patience is that persistence and perseverance are important in it. Without them, unfortunately, patience will burst, but the phrase will have a completely different meaning.
Musical metaphor
Strange title, huh? Nothing, soon everything will be clarified. Do you think that phraseological units have something in common, “patience burst” and “nerves are strained like strings”? We think that the main thing here is the musical metaphor. In the center is the image of a guitar, probably more acoustic than electric. But you can represent any. By the way, one more adjoins to these two phraseological units - “to play on the nerves”. This is also said when they experience someone's patience.
Strings are a delicate and moody subject, you can pull them a little, and that’s all - write in vain: the strings break. Nerves are also sensitive, although options are possible here. No wonder they say that some have nerves, like ropes. And the latter is not so easy to break. But such a device of the nervous system is a rarity. Usually people easily lose their temper. First we look at how patience breaks, and then we learn how to avoid it.
The new life of phraseology and old problems
After Ella Pamfilova's “patience burst”, the dust was shaken off from phraseologism and 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’s 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 at some (fair) frequency.
If you resort to exaggeration and absurdity, then the following will come out. Imagine that a person is beaten in the face, as in the miniature Harms. And then they beat him once - he continues, they beat him again - he continues. And when they beat again, patience snapped. By the way, Harms' miniature is called "Lecture".
It happens in life. Annoyance builds up when its object comes into view again and again. For example, her husband’s dirty socks or his son’s constant absenteeism at school. If only once, then you might think: “Well then, it happens.” Then, when it becomes systematic, such "trifles" seriously pull the nerves, and those, as a rule, are torn. What to do? The answer is further.
How to avoid an emotional explosion
Suppose you feel that patience will soon burst. How to behave? You should immediately discuss, if possible, your emotions with who is the source of your irritation. True, if it comes to work or study, nothing can be done here. You must either change the school (or work), or endure to the end. Situations are different, so breakdowns do 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.
You need to remember: a discussion of one’s state is a real way out of the situation of total irritation.
suggestions
So, we examined the meaning of the word and the essence that lies behind the phraseologism “patience has burst”, so it is time to move on to examples of use, which we will draw up in the form of sentences:
- Keep in mind that my patience is about to burst and I will kick you all out!
- You should not expect that his patience is about to burst and he will fire the coach. The latter has a great credit of trust from management.
- When patience, sadly, bursts with an emotional person, then save yourself who can.
Of course, the reader might have expected to see a sentence here, in which there is a question about when the patience of the Russian people will burst, but he 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 the people decided to revolt. In addition, he had nothing to lose in those days. Now it’s more difficult to solve 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 question is clarified and even examples of use are selected, the question always arises of which reference point to choose. That is, who can be looked upon as the ideal of humility and wisdom? The question is complex. And I would not want to go to religious distances and remember Jesus or Buddha. It is important, as it seems, to choose a character who would be, on the one hand, very modest, and on the other, bright.
Our reality, whether you believe it or not, is filled with heroes. Does a primary school teacher or nanny in kindergarten show patience? Doesn’t the wise mentor 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 this. Sometimes endurance is the result of training, sometimes it is given by nature: this combines temperament and character.
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 it would be nice to visit a psychologist or such a specialist, as in the movie "Anger Management" (2003).
Another thing is when there are real annoying factors. This will help the conversation and the removal of constant tension, when it comes to the interaction between personalities. Social institutions and organizations do not suggest such a solution; you cannot "talk" with them. In such cases, a person can only work with his own consciousness - to change his attitude to the situation. For instance:
- If work is annoying, find at least something good (other than salary) in it.
- If public places and crowds are annoying, then take a book or something to distract with you.
In other words, you can always think and find a way out if you do not succumb to emotions. The latter are evil, especially negative ones. It is not for nothing that the Strugatsky in the “Far Rainbow” expresses the idea that the fusion of a machine and a person is the ideal of the latter, because emotions do not interfere. Think about it at your leisure. Our mission is accomplished.
