Wisdom

Wisdom has built her house,

she has set up her seven columns;

She has dressed her meat, mixed her wine,

yes, she has spread her table.

She has sent out her maidens;, she calls

from the heights out over the city:

"Let whoever is simple turn in here;

to who lacks understanding, I say,

Come eat of my food,

and drink of the wine I have mixed!

Forsake foolishness that you may live;

advance in the way of understanding."

(Proverbs 9:1-6)

I can either listen and learn as the wise person does, or I can get angry and rebel.
To mock or hate those who are concerned for me is to deny that I have a problem.
If I am wise, I will be honest enough to admit that I have a problem and I need help.
This attitude enables recovery -- to reject good advice will lead me to be overtaken by my disease.
