wisdom comes with age, and experience...
it is tied to patience, bitter but whose fruits are sweet.
wisdom is not soft-headedness, it is clear sight and vision, and the truth told. wisdom is strength to know, courage to speak up when the time calls for it. wisdom will not scurry back into the shadows, for at its centre is light. light that both gives life, and banishes the darkness. it exposes us, see us for who we truly are, and yet forgives us for our shortcomings. it only calls us to draw close, and derive comfort and warmth from it.
wisdom will not fear empty words, wisdom reflects and ponders, mindful that it is all too easy to fall into traps the emotions set, caught in a choking spray of red mist ot blue, chilling sorrow. wisdom knows the nature of man, it waits. it will not sink to the depths, it will rise to meet challenges. it is the work of God in action, glory be to Him.
i dedicate this post to Dr Rajes, my report writing lecturer who taught me so much about the nature of life and whose words have given me much food for thought. thank you...i will never forget you.
and most importantly i dedicate this to my mum, source of love and excellent advice...no matter what i do, or where i go, your words are always with me, empowering me and guiding me...and let the beacon shine, its beams showing up nothing but the truth...for the truth shall set all of us free.

I heard from you that my previous comment was accidentally deleted by you. So, here I post the quote to share with you and friends again. No worries.. :)
A wise man, when asked how he had learned so much about everything, replied: “By never being ashamed or afraid to ask questions about anything of which I was ignorant.”
John Abbott (1905-1996, American actor)
