...contrary to common belief, contemplation is a practical attitude and does not preclude action. The contemplative doesn't act out of impatience and desire, like the so-called "active" people do, and also not out of boredom, like all the anxious people react, overwhelmed and overwhelming with unnecessary things, so wasteful of time and life. No action is more prompt and safer than the intervention of a contemplative should a decisive moment prevail. Trouble with being a contemplative is that he turns out to be an actor of some sort of value, in order to be "ok"-ed amongst common people.
