The problem with this gift is often it isn't accepted or wanted.
It is cast aside as not a worthy gift and having no value.
If only the receiver knew it's worth and what lengths the gift giver had to go through to obtain this gift.
Wisdom is usually obtained with sacrifice and battle scars.
The giver of this gift only wishes to spare the recipient of unnecessary pain but to no avail they never see the worth of of what wisdom offers so history repeats itself unnecessarily
Next embrace the gift and accept all that it has to offer. You may be pleasantly suprised !
I wrote this because I know when I was younger I thought I knew it all. Couldn't be bothered with my parents "lectures" if only I had listened I could have spared myself some pain. Now my children look at me like I did at my parents. I wish I could save them from some of their pain.
