Mature Wisdom
The
test of how far your wisdom has matured lies in the strategic skill
with which you can keep yourself from doing things that you like to do
but that would cause long-term harm, and the skill with which you can
talk yourself into doing things that you don’t like to do but that would
lead to long-term well-being and happiness. In other words, mature
wisdom requires a mature ego.
