to the mind's endemic restlessness and impatience.

lying beneath it, subtly or not so subtly, is anger.

and blaming someone (often yourself) or something for it.
This doesn't mean you can't hurry when you have to.
It is possible even to hurry patiently, mindfully,
moving fast because you have chosen to.
