one reason why Bodhisattvas practice patience....

[mudra]

Je Tsongkhapa, in LRCM: "Given that there are a great number of living beings whose behaviour is bad and who you are constantly in danger of meeting, you need a powerful conditioning to patience as a remedy for giving up on their welfare

For all our Mahayana aspirations, this really hits home!
So I'm betting that even 'wrathful' activity can't work without patience.

Yeah mudra..most of the time, it is the wrath that remains and the patience part thrown out of the window....

You are right methinks. So much damage happens when the unskillful try to mimic the truly skillful!

Acting by anger feelings, then projecting those to one and so relate to that one through the filter of own negativities. Than patience makes it possible to delete the coarse vibration and eliminate border between eachother.

Ah Je Rinpoche you never cease to give me something useful
Ive been told by most of my teachers that wrath is for the accomplished, If you've not vanquished anger from your mental continuum then the action will be unskilfull and more harm the good in majority cases for your own and others welfare.
