I find it contradicts with Memento Mori, as you say we are finite and not omniscient, life is passing by and I see patience in favor of maintaining the status quo. Maybe I am mistaken patience for inactivity and the real meaning of patience is getting synchronized with reality to act at the right time, not after, nor before? How do you find balance between questioning your thoughts and your behavior and finding and getting committed to an answer to guide your actions?
