“It is not everything and everyone that deserves my patience. Patience is good, but selective patience is better.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from The Vision, chapter 48
In other words
Patience gives more time in the hope that something will change. When there are signs of growth, repair, or movement, that time can allow a valuable result to mature.
Time alone does not improve everything. A person, plan, or condition may offer no reason to believe that waiting will make it different. Patience then begins spending a limited part of life without serving any real hope.
Selectivity protects the virtue from becoming waste. Impatience can be fruitful when change is needed now and delay only keeps harm in place. The choice depends on what reality is showing: whether more time is feeding a process already alive, or merely postponing an ending that time cannot alter.
