Wise Children

Children with words of wisdom are nothing but children. Men with words of wisdom are wisemen. That’s what I am told but my understanding is different. We are all young and we are all children. Wisdom comes from both the young and the people we call old. Realising that wisdom is independent of age is a realisation that normally comes at an age near death. Wise children are able to come to that realisation long before their death draws near.
