Most people would agree that, although our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge, there has been no corresponding increase in wisdom. But agreement【S1】______as soon as we attempt to define "wisdom" and consider means of promoting it.
There. are several factors that【S2】______to wisdom. Of these I should put first a sense of proportion: the capacity to take【S3】______of all the important factors in a problem and to【S4】______to each its due weight. This has become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent and【S5】______of the special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians. Suppose ,for example ,that you are【S6】______in research in scientific medicine. The work is difficult and is likely to【S7】______the whole of your mind. You have no time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions may have outside the field of medicine. You succeed(let us say)as modem medicine has succeeded ,in enormously lowering the infant death-rate ,not only in Europe and America, but also in Asia and Africa. This has the entirely unintended result of making the food supply【S8】______and lowering the standard of life in the parts of the world that have the greatest populations. To take an even more【S9】______example, which is in everybody’s mind at the present time; you study the makeup of the atom from a disinterested(无利害关系的)desire for knowledge, and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying the human race.
Therefore ,with every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom becomes more necessary, for every such increase augments(增强)our capacity for realizing our purposes, and therefore augments our【S10】______for evil ,if our purposes are unwise.
