Wisdom defined.

What is wisdom?
An accumulation of knowledge:
the practice of ethics and codes,
intelligence or intuition?
Not so.
The ability to see the seed
in a tree and the tree in a seed.
The realization of the universe.
Immune to emotion and prejudice.
If so, an eminent scientist
should fit in well as a man of wisdom.
But he is the least in the governing body.
