Once again, wisdom is the alternative that human beings need to live well. It is not achieved overnight; it is necessary to allow oneself to be refined by it, to allow oneself to be molded. Once attained, those who possess it must be aware that they still need correction and must welcome it with joy to benefit from it. Every man and woman is called to seek wisdom. Even a slave, if he acquires wisdom, will be more important than a free son who is literally “headless” (2), which means that wisdom does not consider origin or social class. According to the teacher of wisdom, it is better to encounter a bear whose cubs have been stolen than a fool speaking nonsense (12); lack of wisdom diminishes a person’s quality.
