Wisdom consists of knowing how to distinguish the nature of trouble, and in choosing the lesser evil.

About This Quote

To avoid trouble, it is good to know that there are two kinds of trouble. The first is when someone does something that you cannot forgive. For example, if you are in a bad mood, and your child is talking back to you, you might ask yourself how you can handle the situation. The second kind of trouble involves finding a way to deal with a situation that is neither good nor bad. For example, if you are stuck in traffic and your time is running out, it would be wise to take the longer route rather than go around the problem and waste more time.
