To Be Wise or Not to Be?

Knowing our degree of ignorance is a sign of wisdom

---

To be or not to be?
To be wise or not to be?
Not being wise
Living in misery, suffering, and drama

Who pretends to be wise
Is not
Calling ourselves Homo sapiens
Is light-years away from being sapiens [¹]

Knowing our degree of ignorance
Is a sign of wisdom

Pretending to know the answers
Imbalance is rising
Remain in openness
Seeing the world with a young mind
The answers will come
Without the need to proclaim the truth

First, get small and insignificant
Take out the emotional garbage
Detach from conditioning
Let life free you from yourself
Delete the software of wishful thinking
And perhaps wisdom will deem you worthy to be its bearer

One thing is for sure:
Becoming wise implies dying in life
Be reborn as life itself
