Where Does Wisdom Come From?

"Ọgbọ́n ju agbára lọ." Wisdom is better than strength. It is better than beauty.  But strength and beauty can be gateways to great wisdom. The wisdom of strength is prudence, because the strong man who practices prudence will be an agent of justice.  The wisdom of beauty is honor because the beautiful woman who practices honor will inspire universal improvement. The experiences you accumulate in relation to strength and beauty inform your understanding of life and how to navigate it well. And so,  you will cultivate wisdom to govern the world well.  Live the medicine.
