““According to Tertullian, impatient actions do not produce what they promise. Instead, impatient actions make things worse, bringing about massive misfortunes. “Now, nothing undertaken through impatience can be transacted without violence, and everything done with violence has either met with no success or has collapsed or has plunged to its own destruction.” 57 Patience, on the other hand, brings new possibilities. Patience is the source of the “practices of peace,” which bring reconciliation week by week in the Christian worship services (Matt. 5: 24).””
