Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.

CREATIVITY
Knowing a great deal is not the same as being wise. Intelligence without a sense of what is fair can be put to work manipulating, exploiting or deceiving others, and at that point it becomes mere cleverness. Wisdom includes the question of how knowledge should be used, not only whether it is correct.
When you find yourself using what you know to gain an advantage, pause to ask whether the result is fair to everyone involved. Admire expertise, but look for the character behind it before trusting it fully. The cleverest person in the room is not always the one to follow.
Where have you been clever in a way that was not fair?
