Imperfection and impatience
When we are impatient with the imperfections of others, it is because we are impatient with our own imperfections. It makes us afraid to try things in front of others because of the way we view ourselves and thus how we think others will view us; this is also how we view others when they perform imperfectly in front of us. We think "how embarrassing." It is only embarrassing for those who make it so for themselves.

familiar. you sent me a letter or a blog entry filled with similar thoughts.
i'm an incredibly impatient person.
and incredibly imperfect.
Well said. I think that may be why forgiveness is so easily developed while we are consistently repenting - patience cleaveth to patience!
