Fear vs Wisdom


Most people are not wise,

And it’s because of their fear.

People are afraid to ask questions,

People are afraid of making mistakes,

People are afraid of needing help.

But what people don’t realize is that the wisest people,

Asks the most questions,

The wisest people make mistakes,

The wisest people seek help when they need it.

But people have too much pride to seek help,

They rather do something on their own befuddled calamities,

Than to get help from someone that can help them understand

People think their peers comprehend things within one lecture,

So they feel compelled that they need to know something within one lecture as well

You can ask someone a million times if they know what they’re doing,

And they would always answer “Yes”,

When in reality,

They don’t know shit.

People are weak,

Their fears holds them back from anything,

The longer people stay ashamed and scare of needing help,

The more unwise people we’ll have,

So I guess most of the time you can say,

That Fear, will always beat Wisdom.
