Try addressing the topic from the point of view that "Wisdom" is a subjective concept.
What is "wisdom"? Is it "wise" to be a christian, a buddhist, a muslim, an atheist? Each of these groups has a different answer and a different understanding of what constitutes "wisdom".
Indeed, there are those who will argue that anyone claiming "wisdom" is subjective is foolish, and not "wise".
But addressing the question of whether "wisdom" is subjective or objective in nature ought to win you a passing grade.
Good luck.

You can have the understanding of something But you need the wisdom to know how to use that understanding, for example, You understand a car has a transmission in it, but if it goes out Do you have the wisdom to fix it yourself.

Life without wisdom is mere existence. Wisdom sets limits on the actions needed to exist. Without wisdom we are just dumb animals going from one meal to the next, with total disregard for others or their needs. What is life without meaning and purpose? Mere existence.

Wisdom is much vaster than just how things work physically. It has to do with awareness of spirit as well. Wisdom in that sense tells you to trust in God and the spiritual realm for those things that are greater than your puny understanding :-)

According to Taoism: the truth comes from the nature, you do not need to seek it. The real taste comes from the natural taste of food, you do not need to change it.
In a sense, you get to the truth or wisdom with minimal efforts (cost). In the process, you do not destroy truth.

The meaning is self-explanatory. It is simply saying that even if you lose all you have, if you are wise you are rich beyond all means. An understanding of the world around you is far more valuable than power etc.
