Wisdom and Risk

Is an act worth the risk?

Every action has a consequence and consequences can help define the morality of the act. In many ways, wisdom is the ability to see the consequences of an act clearly., even if the act has mixed results. If the immediate results are negative, the act might seem foolish to some. But, if the consequence of the act is entry into the Kingdom of God, isn't it worth looking like a fool to obtain it? Isn't the Kingdom worth the risk?
