🌟 Wisdom Any Day: Humility, Pride & the Hidden Roots of Wisdom 🌟

Wisdom grows in the soil of humility—but decays when pride, like hidden worms, eats at the roots.

🌟 Wisdom Any Day: Humility, Pride & the Hidden Roots of Wisdom 🌟 

In today’s #WisdomAnyDay series, we reflect on one of the most profound yet subtle truths about how wisdom grows—or withers—within us. 

"Wisdom grows in the soil of humility—but decays when pride, like hidden worms, eats at the roots." 

Humility nurtures wisdom. It invites learning, welcomes corrections, and makes space for others to contribute. Like rich soil, humility is quiet but vital—allowing insight to take root and flourish over time. 

Pride, on the other hand, is often invisible—not to others, but to ourselves. It hides in applause, cloaks itself in confidence, and thrives on comfort. While humility feeds growth, pride may slowly erode it, like rot hidden below a healthy-looking tree.
