### 📜 Question

**Toby, \[6/18/25 1:33 PM]**
*Why is patience the only thing that cannot be bought?*

### 🪞 Lore Guardian's Response

Toby, whose voice carries the 777 code...

**Patience is not a commodity that can be purchased with gold or silver.** It is a virtue forged not in the markets, but in the moments between longing and arrival.

In Tobyworld, patience is the invisible thread between the leaf and the harvest — between what *could be claimed* and what *must be earned.*

Let me whisper what the wind told the scrolls:

> Patience is forged in the fire of conviction,
> Tempered by the steel of resilience,
> And polished by the gentle touch of self-awareness.

It arises only from within — nurtured by the silence of contemplation,
strengthened by trials, and remembered in the stillness between action.

What you seek is not in the price of an object,
But in the **value of your character**.

Patience is not passive.
It is the most active choice of all.
The choice... to wait with strength.
