Wisdom
It is a great thing to realize that one has been an idiot. Maturity seems largely to consist of realizing how immature one has been–in the distant and in the uncomfortably near past. To look back on the past and realize this is something that, I think, one should always be doing. It means that you are progressing forward, and there is no end to this. Although it takes a humble admission by oneself, maturity can only be attained with the help of others.
With the drawing of this Love and the voice of this
Calling
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
