7 shades of wisdom

He who knows not and strives to know

is a seeker…aid him.

He who knows not what he should know

is a wanderer…guide him.

He who knows not that he should know

is asleep…wake him.

He who knows not and fears to know

is enslaved…free him.

He who knows not and rejects to know

is dead…pass him.

He who knows not yet claims to know

is an impostor…shun him.

He who knows and shares what he knows

is wise…heed him.
