Buddha states that in order to obtain wisdom and be considered wise in their treatment of others, is by not associating oneself with evil companions. Make sure the people one were to sanction in their life is of good character and nobleness. On the other hand, Buddha further expounds, it is not one’s place to find fault in others, nor should one be probing for the negligence and immoral things that others do because it is not their place. Also one should set an example by one’s own acts. This is one of the many ways it takes to show wisdom in dealing with others as according to Buddha.

One should say a blessing over a person that speak against them with hateful words, and treat those with the goodness of their heart that show hate towards them. According to Jesus, this is just one of the many ways a person could show wisdom in their relationship and treatment of others as they work towards the perfection of themselves in obtaining the Kingdom of Heaven.…
