I will be adding "impatience is a virtue" to my portfolios of aphorisms!

Brings to mind a Heideggerian/Taoist aphorism we use around the house:

"Action is its own sight"

i.e., it is in the response to your actions that you see what the situation is.

This is obvious in a situation like throwing rocks into the brush to flush out birds.

But it is nearly universally true.

Excellent. Love the Heideggerian/Taoist aphorism. I shall endeavour to remember this as well. Thank you.
