Virtues of wise women
It’s not like there’s a group of wise women and other clumsy women. Every woman has capacities and strengths that make her unique and in reality every human being carries within her the seed of wisdom, the difference is that there are women who have taken advantage of their learning while others have not managed to learn from their experiences and thus discover their full inner potential.
We will call wise those women who have managed to find their purpose in life, largely overcoming the prejudices and false beliefs that revolve around the feminine.
Although we can see more women taking power and standing for equal opportunities in the world, there are some societies that have not advanced in gender equality. Unfortunately, there are still many women around the world who continue to face realities of indolence and discrimination.
Even with the inequalities that exist in the world, there are many virtues that define wise women and have allowed them to move forward to empower themselves in this way. However, here we have given relevance to five of them. These are complex traits, which can only be achieved when the mind and heart have gone through a process of healthy evolution. They are as follows:
1. Solidarity among women, a healthy virtue
We know that within the female gender there are many feelings of envy and competition that put women in conflict with each other, but wise women are aware of this, and do not let themselves be guided by this negative feeling. They recognise that such disqualifications and sarcastic criticism among women are only a feeling of inferiority and insecurity.
Wise women understand that questioning others does not make them better, but quite the opposite. That is why they are supportive, committed to helping other women, rejoicing in the triumphs of their friends, and avoiding at all costs those dull conversations in which criticism is used as a stone-cold to stone the appearance of others.
2. They act out of their own conviction
Wise women have their own convictions, they do not let themselves be carried away by others, they remain firm and constant in achieving their goals. They are also aware and responsible for their behaviour by being faithful to them, no matter what other people around them think or say.
3. Sense of humor, a sign of well-being
A characteristic feature of wisdom is a good sense of humor. We know that laughter is an excellent medicine for the vicissitudes and ironies of existence. Laughter helps us to better face and accept life’s inevitable situations.
Humor makes any moment a different color. Wise women understand that having a sense of humor is a powerful tool against suffering. That’s why they know how to do it. They are not looking for someone to amuse them, but have learned to find the positive side of every situation on their own.
4. They are objective and realistic
For a long time women have been educated to believe in a romantic love, which has led them to seek perfect loves with a happy ending that really does not exist. This has caused many women to suffer and have toxic relationships.
While wise women think and feel differently, they have learned from their experiences and have taken advantage of this to grow in life and say goodbye to those fantasies that only bring about frustration. Understanding that the couple dimension is one of life and not a magical revelation that changes everything forever.
5. Above all, they feed their self-esteem
One of the defining features of empowered and wise women is that they have self-respect. They do not seek to please others, nor to be approved by others, they always seek their happiness not based on aesthetics but on what they really are and want.
In order to build a real self-esteem, many prejudices and fantasies must be overcome. The effort is worth it because in the end the prize is a freer and more fulfilling life.
