Via Daily Dharma / Why Wisdom?
Dignity
without wisdom can be easily corrupted by pride. Generosity without
wisdom can be corrupted by self-flattery. Without wisdom, you cannot be a
perfect person—meaning that you cannot be free from complicated mind.
Without this freedom, your good qualities always risk being corrupted.
