W ISDOM Wisdom can mean the ability to choose the soundest course of action. It is therefore related to prudence but is more than knowledge. It includes but is more than knowing facts. It is an understanding of how those facts work together. It is said that wisdom comes with age because we need both the facts and experience with how things interrelate in order to choose the soundest course of action. Wisdom therefore can come with experience, and Freemasonry is about experience. It is about the experience of a degree, about portraying a character experiencing a tragic fate, about study and contemplation and about trying to do good and be better. It is also about sharing as a group what benefits the fraternity brings, and what questions it raises for each of us. If obtaining more wisdom is a goal of your Masonic journey, then continuing your involvement in the Masonic experience must remain a priority.
