Wisdom

This for me is the most coveted quality we can ever aspire to.

Times are increasingly difficult and complex with so many things tugging at our emotions that prevent us acting in a calm rational way.

The way to have wisdom is through careful and calm reflection so that we can think clearly. At the same time we pool all the resources of experience that we have learned ourselves and all those we have gleaned from wise men who have lived and thought deeply themselves.

One has to be incredibly determined to become wise when what is tugging us away are worries of the kids, the shopping, our work- especially when we work for others- how to pay the mortgage and increasingly: how to avoid harm from others.

Life is not easy and we need all the relaxation and enjoyment we can find to stay objective and act as wisely as we are able.
