The wise are not wordy

they’re careful with their words…. like a mason building a wall…..they place their words carefully

the wise never assume…… they ask

the wise consider the implications of their actions before doing them

the wise strive to go undetected and shy away from banners that announce their presence

the wise are generally considered meek and mild because “trumpets” or protestations exhorting their opinions are offensive to them

wisdom from the wise is gained by inquiry

having thus analyzed the “wise” I accept I am not of their clan…… but I aspire to be

putting it in reverse
