wisdom is not

something you wish for

although many people

desire it

it is something you grow

through understanding

patience

discernment

compassion

non-judgment

and being open

to life and understanding

your role in it

wisdom defined:

the quality of having experience

knowledge and good judgment

the quality of being wise

 

like most things of value

you have to work

to be wise

you have to listen

without interrupting

speak without preaching

give without expecting

and love blindly

and willfully

and most importantly

keep your heart clean

and your ego in check
