Ignorance and Intelligence

From thavisakfor blogs

The foolish think they are smart, And ignore any self-improvement, Eventually becoming the permanent host of stupidity.

The clever often assume themselves to be ignorant, And pretend to be what they think; Gradually, they succumb to ignorance.

The wise perceive hidden ignorance and intelligence, And evolve along the path to greater state of wisdom. Gradually, they free themselves from ignorance and cleverness.
