Despise Its Adherents

Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.

(Kahlil Gibran, Lebanese American artist, poet and writer)

Whenever wisdom comes around a persons first reaction is to hold it off with a stick because human nature is naturally lazy. Human nature causes people to despise wisdom due to the fact that wisdom takes actual work to acquire and they are used to things being handed to them. In order to do something that actually makes a difference, whenever wisdom calls answer, grab it and make it your own.
