Education to prudence

Psychologists often point out how you take revenge when the development of sensible, reflective reasoning ability is neglected in education. While sensory perceptions and impressions alternate as images in film, reason unites and seeks unity. The prudent man therefore gathers and binds together the results of your daily experience. Scouts are advised to write a diary according to the example of great people. Well, just writing is not enough. When you get old events, impressions, we read the thoughts again; we see clearly what they are in, make a mistake where we are rushing, or what procedure it serves us. A special kind of personal experience is also manifested in the Christian exercises of questioning the witness, the general confession, the spiritual exercises, and the renewal.
Experience others also complement own experience. Even large tangible capital is common. And money we give and receive. Exchanging money is usually too much, he shall not become rich, but he shall not be poor either. By exchanging views, however, mental wealth is growing. It’s a shame when people get along because they have different opinions. But it is the same pity when they have to keep quiet just so they don’t have to keep arguing. Democracy is a discussion, a comparison of different personal opinions. This, of course, presupposes education for a good debate. Children should also learn to interpret their opinion clearly, concisely, tactfully, politely, liking. And old people should not forget that they are still not just teachers for  department that they must be able to listen, appreciate the other, teach even from the young. Even youth has its irreplaceable experience.
To this day, we value Roman law, which is an expression of justice and prudence. It was created by centuries of development. At first, the praetors, the judges, relied only on their predecessors’ successful and sensible solution. Thus, the customs and laws that lasted for centuries grew freely. Too, the art that gushes from inner inspiration, needs training and study of classical patterns. In the literature, the field of time, science excels people census, will well be applied by people with a broad horizon of general education.
A prudent person is happy to consult if he has to deal with individual serious cases. Proud people brag that they do everything themselves. It is usually even secret to achieve the greater effect when the result suddenly appears in public. One well-known Roman university professor had a bad reputation that he often rejected dissertations. He just tossed all those works that could go smoothly if they were their creators a little modesty and asked for advice a little before submitted their text officially. They told him she was laying very high requirements.
A few tips for sensible conduct
A prudent person does not act hastily. He can stop and think about what he will do. Some authors have tried to express individual aspects, from which he should have his own deed to observe.
a) Have a goal in front of your eyes. Already according to intention and intent, a reasonable person is known. He knows clearly what he wants. Don’t talk to others until he knows exactly what it’s about. If he does not know what he has to do is not starting work. He looks well at the map before it comes out into the unknown by car. If we are careful, we will see for ourselves how much time, unnecessary effort, and inconvenience we will save if we can before each work stop for a moment and ask ourselves, «What am I supposed to do? Why? What’s the point?”
b) Consider options. In the Gospel, this is emphasized by simple figurative language: If any of you want to build a tower if he does not sit down first and does not recalculate the load, whether he has to its completion? Make him then when he lays the foundation, and he won’t finish it, not everyone who sees it has started, mock (Luke 14: 28-29). It’s not just about knowing if we’re up to the task. It is also about choosing the most effective method. Several paths often lead to one goal. In the Exercises, St. Ignatius of Loyola returns more often to this experience. To him who has chosen to follow Christ, there is presented a meditation “on two pledges,” i.e. clear knowledge of the method of Christ and the method of the enemy. Soon comes the contemplation of “three pairs,” which is about different people who want something but don’t know what leads to the goal. The so-called second-week the exercise ends with a personal «choice» of means when the best concrete options for committing are systematically considered and selected. Those who cannot estimate the real possibilities still have difficulties with other people. Either he asks them too much or too little. He is angry that he doesn’t answer his letter, about whom everyone knows that he doesn’t like to write letters. On the contrary, it will not deliver you dare to ask for something, even though the other is waiting for it and wants to comply with him. According to an old proverb, it resembles a shod metal that sews shoes on only one hoof, so it has a locomotive fit. In the end, he was alone, although he could have had a lot of friends and co-workers.
c) Stability and strength in making commitments.
It is better to go a long way when we have already chosen a neck than
to return three times and look for a shorter path. Don’t finish work done is a lost effort. Nervously weak people suffer from determination. It takes so long for various options to shake up, they choose the worst. It’s good to think, ask for advice, wait, but even that must have its limits and time. Let’s not kill the mental energy by thinking about the little things, about what is not worth it. Strength in the decision, understandably, must not cross borders and become intransigent. A stubborn man goes his way, even when he is already he was utterly wrong. So a prudent person is still learning. True wisdom, he seeks God in everything. Knowing God then is how writes Guardini, something alive, but all living things are growing.
