More talent brings more judgment

The more you learn and the more skills you acquire, the more severely people will judge you. The expectations will be higher and the disappointment deeper when you don’t live up to your talents or wisdom.

But there is an equalizer in the game of life that allows you more time to sort things out even when you bear the burden of great expectations. It is to live a good and honest life. To fear the talents or wisdom you’ve been given rather than use them to domineer over other people.

To truly appreciate your talents or wisdom, learn to be nothing and esteem yourself as low as possible. When you do this, you will think more highly of others. This is a much better practical wisdom that will act as a sort of highlighter to the talent and intelligence you have.

It is better to feel charitable than know how to define it. What good is it to know all the good things if we don’t do the good things?
