Wisdom and mental health nursing

Wisdom is a complex quality. For example, one person’s inconsequential recognition or perception may be experienced as extraordinary or incredibly insightful to another (Randall & Kenyon, 2004). Broadly, wisdom is considered to be a higher personal attribute that embodies a special combination of intelligence and insight gained via life experience. Wisdom is considered to be comparatively rare, although reflective and morally inclined people may actively seek wisdom and those who pursue such a path hold that it is a valuable and desirable human quality or virtue.
