If we just focus we would see there is a right time for everything like it says in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8...found in The Bible.
"A time to be born,
A time to die,
A time to plant,
A time to harvest,
A time to kill,
A time to heal,
A time to destroy,
A time to rebuild,
A time to cry,
A time to laugh,
A time to grieve,
A time to dance,
A time for scattering stones,
A time for gathering stones,
A time to hug,
A time not to hug,
A time to find,
A time to lose,
A time for keeping,
A time for throwing away,
A time to tear,
A time to repair,
A time to be quiet,
A time to speak up,
A time for loving,
A time for hating,
A time for war,
A time for peace."

While the olivo as symbol of peace. For a peace that has immediately to arrive.
