What can overcome wisdom? (20 points)

Any number of negative emotions can overcome Wisdom.

Fear for example, has often led wise man and women to act unwisely. think of the Nazi holocaust. It would be unfair to say most German citizens were unwise to let it happen but if we factor fear into the equation it all makes more sense.

Sexual obssesion can also derail Wisdom. Think of the 'wise' king Solomon who sends one of his most loyal soldiers Uriah to the battle front our of his obsession with Batsheeba. He does this even though at the time he had hundreds of concubines and several wives at his disposal.

Monetary gain has also led many people to abandon wiser paths for the love of material things. Perhaps the best known documented case of this is Judas betraying Jesus for a measly 30 silver coins.

moon-letters were a method of writing invented by the dwarves. moon-letters were ordinary runes, but written in such a way that they could only be read when the light of the moon shone behind the writing. some moon-letters could be read by any moonlight, but it was possible to make the writing even more secret. more sophisticated moon-letters could only be read by the light of the same shape of moon, or at the same time of year, as when they were written. hope this !
