Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of personal experience in truly understanding and embodying wisdom. Knowledge and advice given to us by others may hold little significance until we have personally lived and experienced the lessons embedded in that wisdom. It suggests that true understanding and appreciation can only come from firsthand experience, where we can relate the knowledge to our own lives, values, and circumstances. The meaning behind wisdom is shaped by our own encounters, making it personal and relevant to our individual journeys.
