When I was younger, I felt more suffocated because I was a non-stop source of energy and those who stood still required more patience that I had.

Now with age I'm more equanimous. I realize that some people will never move very fast or very far, whether mentally, physically or spiritually, and I just accept them for who they are.

But people whom I perceive as stuck and unwilling to move, I don't spend much time with.
