A very sensible statement in Vidura neeti of Mahabharatham

When a person is weak, when he is having no advantages or bargaining power, he has to be patient with everyone. For sheer existence, he has to tolerate everything. He has little choice in the matter

The person who is privileged, who is in control, who has all the advantages, would still show patience and tolerance because the Dharma or laws of propriety expect him to show such forbearance.

For persons who are just floating along in society with advantages and disadvantages delicately balanced, for whom advantage may turn into disadvantage or vice versa in a short span of time, the best policy is to show patience. Show of patience, tolerance and forbearance are the best behavioural patterns for them.

See how realistic Vidura is..
