A friend with a slow pace can actually cure your "impatience." He is calm and unhurried, not rushing to give answers, nor rushing to push things toward a conclusion. Spending time with such a person, you will gradually realize: many things don't actually need to be so urgent. The reason people are anxious on the surface seems to be about efficiency, ambition, and effort, but from a deeper perspective, urgency is often a subtle form of greed. Many people think greed is just a desire for money, fame, or love, but a more common form is an impatience for results: eager to see the outcome, eager to get a response, eager to escape difficulties, eager to prove that their efforts weren't in vain. When someone is very anxious, their body remains in the present, but their mind has already run to the future, trying to grasp the yet-to-come result prematurely. In reality, many things can only mature slowly over time. What a person truly needs to learn may not be to rush forward faster, but to keep their heart in the present and take one step at a time.
