I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I’ve become
arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in my life where I do not want
to waste more time with what displeases me or hurts me. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of
any nature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those
who do not love me and to smile at those who do not want to smile at me. I no
longer spend a single minute on those who lie or want to manipulate. I decided
not to coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I
do not tolerate selective erudition nor academic arrogance. I do not adjust
either to popular gossiping. I hate conflict and comparisons. I believe in a
world of opposites and that’s why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible
personalities. In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal. I do
not get along with those who do not know how to give a compliment or a word of
encouragement. Exaggerations bore me and I have difficulty accepting those who
do not like animals. And on top of everything I have no patience for anyone who
does not deserve my patience
