We need patience to preserve our inner peace and compassionate mind. Patience is like an armor or a shield, it's part of our defense, just like forgiveness. Enemies and trouble makers are valuable because they provide us with the opportunity to practice patience and forgiveness.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.
It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.
