The Fool and The Wise

The Fool doesn't know he's a fool.

He thinks he knows better. He is proud.

He reacts to the words of the wise.  He doesn't ponder them.

He is friendly only to those who agree with him. Because he knows better.

The Fool never wonders if he is a fool.  He doesn't need to because he knows he is not a fool.

The Wise doesn't think he is wise; sometimes he wonders if he is a fool.

He can admit when he doesn't know.  He is humble.

He learns from the words of the wise and unwise.  He ponders them.

He is friendly to everyone.  Those with different ideas are welcomed.  

The Wise often wonders if he is a fool.  He knows that he does not know it all.
