The Wise vs. The Unwise
“Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.” — Plato
Wise men and women always have one thing in common: They know what really matters.
This reflects itself in the things they speak about, but also in the way they live.
A Fool will worry endlessly over something that barely has any impact.
They worry about how they are perceived in a single moment, worry about things they can solve in a single day, and blame themselves for things that are long gone.
Their thoughts surround actions of little-to-no impact.
When they speak, their conversations end just the same, leaving little to be gained.
Someone who has gained Wisdom, on the other hand, always has as connection to the bigger goal.
They don’t worry about how they are perceived by people that do not matter to them, don’t even consider problems that they can instantly solve, and never blame themselves for things they cannot change.
They live actively and progressively, focusing only on what they can do or be now.
When they speak, their conversations tend to end in action or improved emotions.
