Wisdom is the best guide for both temporal affairs and inner development. Hence it cannot be irrelevant. Some may ask the question, “How can we be sure about what Wisdom actually is?”  The specific answer is, “Does it align with the most basic tenets of the World’s major Wisdom traditions like the centrality and apriori consideration of and for the individual/individuals involved.” Also, “Does it recognize that ethics is an absolutely essential aspect of being human and so cannot be ignored or placed in a secondary position in any given situation.”

Wisdom is the process and result of the integration of two seemingly opposing, contradictory and/or apparently unresolvable situations, bodies of thought or political viewpoints in the most optimal, ethical and truth revealing way. It is both the best philosophical and pragmatic result, and hence is the best possible inward and outward solution. It is an inward science and an outward art. Its value is incalculable, its practice is its own reward and its truths the very best guide to both personal development and systemic policies.
