" We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us. "

Wisdom is attained through experience. Knowledge can be received by reading books or watching videos but practical implementation of something leads to wisdom. Information is crucial but if we only focus on knowledge, we will be in a wasteland of information that is never used or understood to apply in our life.

But wisdom makes us free. It lets us see the true meaning of life and our understanding of our own self gets deeper in the process.
