Wisdom isn't a personal trait that many people strive for any more. So many people seem to assume they already have it. amirite?

Whatever happened to patience as well? You always hear stories about old people with wisdom and patience and I've never met anyone like that.

Slightly different take. Everyone has some amount of wisdom. The question is how much and are they striving for more.

This seems to conflate wisdom with smarts. Wisdom comes from application of smarts and experience. One can't really strive for it, it comes with time and experience. Gotta' make lots of mistakes to earn it.
