In the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu wrote, "To know that you do not know is highest.
To not know but think you know is flawed.
Only when one recognizes the fault as a fault can one be without fault. The sages are without fault.
Because they recognize the fault as a fault. That is why they are without fault." So if I understood that correctly, wisdom lies in seeing our own faults, or in other words, our own foolishness.
But how do we see our own foolishness?
As usual, I'm gonna explore this idea through a dialogue.
The following is a conversation between a monk (M) and his student (S) .
S: Teacher, how do I become wise?
M: Wisdom lies in seeing your own foolishness.
