Moral Wisdom can become complicated. As we move deeper into adulthood, we can begin to refine our Moral Wisdom to discern the corrective guilt that enables us to adopt morally wise behaviors from self-punishing guilt that emerges from life’s childhood interjections.  Applied Moral Wisdom is not about finding faith in things bigger than ourselves, like the deep mysteries of life’s meaning. It is about finding ways to simplify one’s life by forming and enjoying rewarding relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.
