Semantics Et Al

In reviewing some old notes here is a selection of the words I have looked up . . . 

Defiant:  One who refuses to obey.

Doesn't sound like anyone I know.

Patient:  Able to accept or tolerate delays, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious.

I seriously have no idea what this means.

Will:  A person's determination, choice, or desire in a particular situation.

This is the thing that's so hard to turn over.  You can easily see why.  My choice or god's choice?  Please.

Wisdom:  The quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgement.  "Knowledge is really about facts and ideas that we acquire through study, research, investigation, observation, or experience.  Wisdom is the ability to discern and judge which aspects of that knowledge are true, right, lasting, and applicable to your life."

I have one of these.  Not the important one.

Egotism:  The practice of talking and thinking about oneself excessively because of an undue sense of self-importance. 

Yes.  Yes.  Yessir.

Guilt:  A feeling of responsibility for some offense, crime, wrong, etc.; an unhappy feeling, whether wrong or imagined.

I think the operative word here is "imagined."

Worry:  Give way to anxiety or unease; allow one's mind to dwell on difficulty or trouble.

Don't you get the sense that the individual is ceding all control to that individual's own mind?  Why not NOT allow one's mind etc. etc. etc..

Sober:  Marked by a sedate or earnestly thoughtful character or demeanor; unhurried; calm; showing no excessive or extreme qualities of fancy, emotion, or prejudice.

Ah, yes, sobriety.  Ironically with the best word of the group I was doing some research - unsuccessful ultimately - to trip up LSD boy.
