ability to discern

inner qualities


hmmm, does not quite grasp the meaning,
so I search for another definition

knowledge of what is true + right

coupled with just judgment … sagacity

sagacity:

of keen and farsighted judgment

keen:

intellectually alertcharacteristic of a quick penetrating mind

judgment:

the process of forming an opinion or evaluation by discerning and comparing

discernment:

the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend what is obscure


so maybe the original definition was spot on.

the beginning of wisdom
