What is Wisdom?
A deep understanding and realizing of people, things, events or situations, resulting in the ability to choose or act to consistently produce the optimum results with a minimum of time and energy.
It is the ability to optimally (effectively and efficiently) apply perceptions and knowledge and so produce the desired results.
It is comprehension of what is true or right coupled with optimum judgment as to action.

Being wise often requires control of one's emotional reactions(the "passions") so that one's principles, reason and knowledge prevail to determine one's actions
