How do we measure Wisdom?

​Day 373 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises

WISDOM
 
Just because we know
what needs to happen
and others do not,
doesn’t mean that we are right.
We could still be miles away
from the truth.
Indeed we may be close to zero
on the real activity scale.
 
Just because we have
the answer to the situation
and others do not,
doesn’t mean that we are right.
We could still be miles away
from the truth.
Indeed we may be close to zero
on the real knowledge scale.
 
Just because we have
experienced this before
and others have not,
doesn’t mean that we are right.
We could still be miles away
from the truth.
Indeed we may be close to zero
on the real wisdom scale.
