Hi,

I want to ask that if we talk about "wait" can we say that "Wait is a state of mind ",and I also want my correction in the lines below:

"Wait is a natural phenomena,not a conscious act/not a consciously done act.We wait unconsciously and its not a thing we do consciously."

please help me to find my mistakes and make my correction and tell me if there is any good definition of wait.

regards

I'm not sure you've grasped the meaning of wait. Do you possibly mean 'patience' instead?
