Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.As with so many things in the Bible, we continually are presented with either/or propositions. Sharp lines of distinction are drawn and no blurring is allowed.
~ King James version ~
Fool or sage. We each play both roles.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
Wisdom is something we gain by experience. We learn as much -- if not more -- each time we stumble and fall. Wisdom is not a static state -- a perch to ascend to. While we may be sagely in some aspects of life, we remain fools in others.
Throughout our lives, we concurrently are both teachers and students.
