"Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick"

[Cadet]

I think you are starting to "get it".

The thing about waiting is that you should not be "waiting" even right now.
You should be moving forward.
Living your life "as if", he is never coming back.
Figuring out what that(life) is going to look like.

Cause here is the paradox too, if we get stuck doing the above,
then they might get stuck too.

Does that make sense?
