Successful and happy lives have been lived by wisdom
Exemplary, noble lives worthy of elevation and emulation
By wisdom, kings have built and ruled kingdoms
Devoid of wisdom, estates and realms have been brought to desolation
It would be devastatingly destructive to downplay her importance
Knowing that lives, communities, and industries have been saved by her brilliance.
Wisdom is an indicator, a measure of personal intellectual development
As it gradually becomes evident in the decision-making process of the young
Parents applaud, teachers are glad, and society is better due to the advancement
We might as well have heard an excellent rendition of a beautiful song!
The young showing wisdom get more freedom to choose, more independence
The world of adults gradually rewards them and welcomes their presence.
In a world that favours quick wins and instant gratification
Wisdom is often in short supply among the impatient, the thrill seekers, and the young and restless
Leading to thoughtless fights, clashes, and other acrimonious situations
But when the painful repercussions, consequences of unwise actions strike and leave us windless
We can only hope and pray for an opportunity to more intelligently begin again
And relentlessly seek the wisdom to live without experiencing avoidable pain.
Know therefore that wisdom is the principal thing
At its best, it comes from God above
It enlightens us and directs our entire being
And results in solutions that fit like a glove!
Another treasure trove of wisdom: libraries and books
Tread cautiously and be careful where you look.
