A person living in Somalian slums will develop a different wisdom (= internalized skillful manner of navigating life) from a person living in a rich neighbourhood in the US. If these people suddenly switched locations, both would have great difficulty in expertly adjusting to their new worlds and “gaming the system” there.
Every person has a wisdom/system which was built up in response to their specific environment – society, family, friends they were surrounded with, events taking place in the world at that point in time. Isn’t that amazing? It’s like we’re clay that fits in to the shape of the mold we were in. Then you go to a different place, you leave your mold, but the shape largely remains.
Everyone’s shapes have molds that influenced them, but usually we only see the person’s shape. If we knew the molds, we’d understand better.
