Proverbial Monoku

wisdom's path is well-marked and plain -- for even a fool can follow it

8.21.18
Proverbs 8:1-5
Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice?  At the highest point along the way, where the paths meet, she takes her stand;  beside the gate leading into the city, at the entrance, she cries aloud:  “To you, O people, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind.  You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.

Thank you. The words cut me even as I wrote them because I don't know why sometimes I don't follow the path I know is better for me.
