Gaining Wisdom - how it is done

You have broadened your horizons
and feel ever so wise, but
your gain in knowledge
is limited and
defined,

It takes years of turning over clever
rocks to know why living is
the educator, it becomes
your state of
mind.

Once you think you have a grounded
understanding of the world,
the rocks get heavier, you
know you are the
fool,

Only time can instill the wisdom you
need in order for you to know
what is important and what
is an intellectual
cesspool.
