Havamal Snippets 28: Wisdom Lies in Both Knowing and Asking

It's Wednesday (Woden/Odin's Day) which means that it's time for another verse from the Havamal 'Sayings of the High One - Odin'. The poem full of wisdom, both everyday and ethereal. (The poem can be found in full HERE):

28. He thinks himself wise,
who can ask questions
and converse also;
conceal his ignorance
no one can,
because it circulates among men.

Wisdom is both knowing and asking; it's active aswell as passive. This means that the unwise will be double aided (if his nature is good) or doubly crippled (if his nature is bad) in the face of a wise man.
