Wisdom

Who is wise?
Who is discerning?
Who exercises good judgment?

The person who recognizes that there can never be a significant enough reason to hate -- bad-mouth, backbite, belittle -- or berate another human being.

The one who realizes that love and respect lead people to carefully build their emotional houses -- namely, relation and reputation. They learn to treat people as they want to be treated instead of tearing others down.

The individual who understands that true character is revealed through a person's way of handling praise or criticism.

The one who acknowledges that it is futile for human beings to attempt to become their own gods.

Those who grasp that love is not about wishing someone would notice them but, instead, it is about choosing to notice another's needs of what they can give -- time, joy, and sacrifice.
