Which is far better than unwisely, of course.
Nelson Mandela nailed it when he said that, "A good head and a good heart are a formidable combination."
The writer of the New Testament book of Ephesians said it well, too:
"No more stumbling around. Get on with it.
Don't waste your time...watch your step.
Use your head.
Make the most of every chance you get."
And since he was writing to a particular audience, the writer of Ephesians said that the best way to walk wisely thru time and space was to, "Figure out what will please Jesus, and then do it."
Wisely is far better than unwisely!
Gandhi would point out these seven ills to avoid as we walk thru time and space:
Politics without Principle
Wealth without Work
Commerce without Morality
Pleasure without Conscience
Education without Character
Science without Humanity
Worship without Sacrifice
Walking wisely just could mean that every day, every day...we would want to
Be careful to forgive,
Be careful to let go of resentments,
Be careful to release our need to control everything,
Be careful to choose grace over judgment.
Wise walkers are up to speed on the truth that its not what one is becoming but who one is becoming that really matters.
Wise walkers are careful who they surround themselves with. (In the real world and the virtual world.)
Wise walkers make a habit of giving back.
And, wise walkers have great patience.
And wise walkers get off their butts and DO instead of just talking about it!
