More on Wisdom

Wisdom, in many ways, is like being a good and alert driver of a motor vehicle. A good driver knows and understands the rules of the road and keeps them.To be given the privilege to drive on the road you must have a drivers license which is gained after a test of your competence to handle a car and your knowledge of the road code. In other words, you do not make up your own rules and regulations when it comes to life on the road. If you constantly ignore or flout the law of the road, you will lose your license, or more sadly lose your life. True wisdom is not a license but a talent given by God as a potential to use our gift of freewill wisely. The opening maxim features the link between wisdom and freedom.
