A Philosophical Time Frame

I think I stress a lot of people out without meaning to because my thoughts are so expansive that they don't fit in their time schedule, so they get impatient. Not everyone is in the time frame to philosophise and dream away. To give them what they want, I need to be quick and to the point, but with the big questions there's often no quick answer. Maybe our society needs more patience. Everything that doesn't get fixed quickly gets us frustrated, so we end up focusing on other, smaller, more superficial things. Now it just so happens that I'm mostly interested in people that are emotional and impulsive, and we don't always get along… I guess any relationship that's fulfilling isn't easy. But there has to come a connection between those two realms. We, philosophers, are open to it for our part, but most people aren't, because they don't have the time. What we need, in particular, what you need, is time, lots of spare time. Time will bring us together, and when it does, we'll be able to do anything. I bet the next five years in the economy are going to be pretty slow. Perhaps this is our chance.
