Simplified Meaning:
People can be very smart and knowledgeable, yet still behave in ways that can be harmful or unkind to others. This means that having intelligence and wisdom doesn't always make a person good or compassionate. For example, imagine a successful businessperson who is a genius at making money but treats employees poorly. While they are bright and capable in their work, their lack of kindness makes them mean. This insight shows us that wisdom and intelligence should be balanced with empathy and kindness. In our daily lives, we can remember to use our skills and knowledge not just for personal gain, but also to help and support others, making the world a better place for everyone.
