Wise

 I heard a song for the first time in years.  It was popular when I was in high school.  I must have heard in 1,000 times then.  I missed this lyric every time though. And I heard it just now and it stuck with me.

For the life of me, I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise

I have thought about wisdom over the years.  Mostly I've thought about how I shouldn't fool myself into thinking that I have any.  This lyric was eye opening for me.  Basically, I think it's saying you can never be wise and that you'll always look back and wonder why you thought that.  It's a paradox.  The only way to be wise is to believe you aren't.  It's humbling and elegant.

Taher, you are not wise.  Don't believe or think you are.  Listen.
