The Responsibility of Wisdom

Learning is a great thing, but the one problem that some have with gaining new knowledge is the new responsibility.  That means we have to be accountable for that new wisdom even when it means we have to change what we think is a major part of our lives.  We could choose to ignore the knew knowledge but wisdom tells us that this action would...
