What+is+wisdom?

 ** Wisdom... **  ...is a deep understanding of people, things, events or situations, giving someone the ability to choose or act to consistently get the best results with a minimum of time and energy. Wisdom is the ability to use knowledge and see something from someone else's viewpoint to get the results you want. Wisdom is knowing what is true or right along with having the best judgment to know how to act. Wisdom often requires control of one's emotional reactions (the "passions") so that one's principles, reason and knowledge prevail to determine one's actions. []
