The Practical Necessity of Humility

We trust our judgement and believe we know best.  Not a problem at the grocery store, or at least not much of one, when you're deciding between apples.

Deciding for a nation, however, a wise leader listens intently, working to understand, realizing there can be unintended consequence for those served.  A wise leader humbly acknowledges there is much more to every circumstance, listens to those who disagree, and decides with an awareness that life and death are in the balance.

The wise listen and learn.  That's why they're wise.
