That's the thing, being wise doesn't have to be knowing everything, well, funny thing is, it isn't. Take the smartest dude on this board (me) and see how he performs when under pressure (greatly of course, wow this example sucks) no jk, actually, just take the most smartest embodiment of a person you know, not wise. Smart. book smart. They'll know what to do, but knowing what to do takes skill, and experience, it doesn't take the knowledge of what to do. You can know the steps into building a car, but actually building the car will be impossible if you don't have the experience in said skill set. When we're in situations of life, we usually don't recount, or recall ourselves. We usually act (keyword, usually) and when we do so...it's tough. And it makes for writings like these, that pinpoint that infrastructure. It's tough, because that's how we learn. I more often than not, catch myself thinking irrationally, because that's how we're wired to think, we're wired to take shortcuts, and we want instantaneous happiness. And that hurts us, much like the verse insisted. Good stuff, but it didn't need to be said, or maybe it did. It reads as a typical philosophical endeavor to me. But it was cool, man, honestly. MAybe you should delve deeper, and actually uproot some of your emotions through writing you've mastered. You will see it feels great.
