OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING

See? When it comes to character, even those from the other side of the fence, or the more privileged amongst us, could hardly show a difference.

When we witnessed the brewing war, not about law, but about immorality and spoils division, at the top echelon of legislation of our nation, some people in this country discovered that the supposed models of rhyme and reason turned out to be all worthy to be gibbeted at least for treason.

People further said they seem to be not our equals. As if they all are lesser individuals.

The hardest things to find in congress are the people characteristically discreet and have more finesse. And the irony of which, there’s abundance of suck kind of people right in the streets. They may be a sector in our society bereft of learning and academic resources, yet endowed with human understanding, propriety and respect.

Definitely, some of the basic essentials and true wisdom of life are hidden from the consciousness of the so-called educated and hyped. There’s knowledge, supposedly the most important one, that's revealed to the babes and sucklings, but because of their haughty pride and unrepentant spirit, it was kept and hidden from the learned (Matt. 11:25).

Since the foundation of civilization, men didn’t stop searching for wisdom and understanding and even conquering oracles, riddles and fables, but they miserably failed in getting even a good grasp of the much simpler Golden Rule, Beatitudes and Parables.

Many times over it is written in the Psalms, that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. And we can never have wisdom if reigning in our hearts are pride, lust, greed and the like. Let rather dwell therein love, peace, joy, long-suffering and other life virtues of such kind.

And we’ll wish together that in the gauge of heaven, we will gain and posses that greatest wisdom. The kind of wisdom that would unshackle us from the bondage of sin, would give us total freedom.
