Wisdom Preserves the Life of Its Owner
Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the profit of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.
Between the safety money buys and the safety wisdom buys, which do I pour more of my heart into?
📝Reflection
The Preacher does not deny the power of money. Both money and wisdom are a shade that shelters a person. But there is a decisive difference. Money guards me yet cannot change me. Wisdom guards me and, at the same time, keeps me alive. When crisis strikes, an account can postpone the problem, but wisdom makes a person who passes through it. It is like the Buddha calling wisdom "the truest treasure." Money can be lost, but wisdom worked into the body cannot be seized. So wisdom is the one wealth where not what you own, but the person you have become, becomes your shade.
