Who is like the wise? Who knows the explanation of things?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A person\u2019s\u00a0wisdom brightens the face and changes its hard appearance.<\/strong>*<\/p>\n

Here’s a definition of wisdom: Knowing of the explanation of things.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Okay, we sort of knew that. But\u00a0what does it do? It brightens the face and softens the hard appearance.<\/em><\/p>\n

Whooda thought?<\/p>\n

Wisdom is an internal perspective which has a visible effect on the external appearance of the one that has it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wow!<\/p>\n

Here’s an idea: How about a line of beauty products or anti-aging cosmetics called \u201cWisdom Works.\u201d<\/em> Or\u00a0\u201cWorry Chasers.\u201d<\/em> Or how about\u00a0\u201cLooking-Good-Clear-Eyed-Long-View Lotion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Trouble is, how would you bottle it, or price it?\u00a0Economically\u00a0it would bomb; it’s too free.<\/p>\n

And where would you apply it, to the eyes?<\/p>\n

I saw that wisdom is better than folly,\u00a0just as light is better than darkness.<\/strong>
\nThe wise man has eyes in his head,\u00a0while the fool walks in the darkness . . .**<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wisdom is a proper interpretation of what you take in<\/span>; but first you have to take it in . . . clearly. Having wisdom is like having an invisible coal miner’s lamp<\/em> inside the forehead.<\/p>\n

Fumbling in the dark can make a fool of anyone.<\/p>\n

If I gathered together a list of my life’s lower moments (shudder), I expect I’d find a lack of wisdom at the base of them all . . .
\nand a fumbling in the dark.<\/p>\n

Wisdom brightens the face. How? Wisdom looks\u00a0beyond<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It’s the present circumstances that can skew the smile, and projected fears that distort the countenance. Wisdom looks farther than both and provides the calm.<\/p>\n

It’s a “Balm of Calm.”<\/p>\n

Hey, there’s another.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Comments? Further names? I’ll be happy to see them. \u00a0And the wiser.<\/p>\n
