Wisdom

I have written often about wisdom and our ongoing pursuit of it.  The MMM has also addressed how impatient we are as humans.  Consider the following writing which addresses both points…

Wisdom is not proven by argument or debate.  Wisdom is proven over time.  Some people adamantly proclaim that their opinion is best.  Regardless of how convincingly these people defend their viewpoint, time is the best judge of their wisdom.  The result of a practice proves its validity, not how loudly it is promoted. 1

Be wary of those who seek to have their own wisdom acknowledged before it can be proven over time.  Also, be patient with your own understanding of what is wise.  Wisdom is elusive.  It is easier to spot in others than in ones’ self.  Be careful when claiming wisdom publically, but constantly strive to be wise.

Have a blessed week.
