The journey which one takes to become "wise" can simply be described as a troublesome experience. Challenges will be faced, sacrifices will be made, and character will be tested. This is because "wisdom" is created by knowledge and knowledge is accompanied by sorrow. Therefore, there is no way to become "wise" without experiencing sorrow. This grief will be magnified with the sadness that also comes with the territory. Although this idea was originally conceived thousands of years ago, around the time that the Bible was written, it still holds true today. Concurrence with this biblical verse is provided by the countless stories of things that are better left unsaid. Revelation of circumstances often leads to misery.
