A person who has no longsuffering falls in anxiety, annoyance and disturbance. He becomes worried and loses his inner peace.

Such a person will be always anxious, looking at his watch every minute and every moment. He may also be rash and do himself much harm. Such an impatient person may in his rashness take decisions or actions haphazardly, like one who thinks God has not responded to his prayers and so swears never to enter the church, as if protesting against God!

—H.H. Pope Shenouda III, Fruits of the Spirit
