Wednesday Wisdom

A narrow standing stone on the edge of a cliff, surrounded by brush. Superimposed text reads: You should be only a little wise, never too wise. The happiest people throughout their lives are those who know just enough. You should be only a little wise, never too wise. A wise man's heart is seldom glad if he's truly wise.

Wisdom is a gift, but self-awareness can become heavy when it turns into constant scrutiny. Seek truth, but carry it with compassion.
