I seek to better my understanding of truth through wisdom. Acquiring knowledge is no guarantee of practical, useful application. The ability to think sensibly is a virtue. To try to cheat our way through the process, or fake our evidence and evade the effort of the task is to encounter a mistaken assumption of our cognitive abilities. When this mistake is encountered, we are left to our own devices, without recourse, and nothing to protect us but our severity. But, if truths are the confirming feature of excellence, then I make it a goal to devote a responsibility to seeking truth. It’s one thing to have an opinion about something; it’s something else entirely to be able to argue a point eloquently, cogently, and with great effect. Wisdom involves good judgment, discernment, understanding and assessing for implications, then selecting what is true or appropriate.
