For the average man, wisdom is perceived as a passive attitude, regarding the circumstances, fortunes or misfortunes that may occur in the course of human life. Though wisdom is a virtue that corresponds to a certain frame of mind in the face of the human condition, nevertheless, as Sophia, it becomes a certain form of science. This is why it cannot consist of a resigned attitude or passive submission towards anything that is beyond understanding. It can be based upon acceptation rather than resignation, that is to say the acceptance of a reality which we can understand and come to terms with, and which we will not hesitate to transform through the knowledge we may have of it.
