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.
