not all wisdom is the same.
some have practical wisdom. they get through life with shortcuts and hard earned experience, knowing what to do in each and every situation they may come across.
some have academic wisdom. your typical overachiever, class topper, easily wins pub quizzes. reading consumes their time, and it's hard to find them without some sort of book.
some have emotional wisdom. they know exactly what to say when someone is crying, the right delivery to make people laugh, cry, anything in between. they read the room, and they see beauty in the interpersonal relationships.
Lady Athena is all of these. hail, grey-eyed Goddess of Wisdom! may your wise guidance help humanity forevermore!
