Wait

To remain in a place or condition until a specific event happens or a desired person arrives; to postpone action or movement. It can also mean to be ready or prepared. The duration can vary from a brief moment to an extended period, and the waiting can be active (anticipating) or passive (accepting delay). Context is key to understanding the reason and nature of the waiting, from anticipation and anticipation to patience, and the act of waiting shapes many aspects of our lives, our choices, and experiences. This is a fundamental human experience.
