Prudence is a Cardinal Virtue. It is a personal choice of wise guidance. I am guided by the wisdom of being prudent. To judge prudence as caution, care & economy is without wise discernment.
Discernment is a wise choice, in contrast to an intellectual judgment of what is believed to be right or wrong, good or bad, positive or negative, beneficial or detrimental.
Prudence is a beneficent choice that is certainly, positively, right, good & beneficial for one’s Soul. Paradoxically, both prudence & imprudence are believed to be, and defined as being, economical with the truth.
Truth is an Individual’s individual alignment with their wise choice. It is neither scarce (economical) nor extravagant and is carefree not careful and certain, not cautiously uncertain. When truth is scarce, uncertain and appears unsafe, so is prudence.
Being extravagant with my truth is imprudent and unwise and being careful & cautious when making wise choices is not prudent. It is with the absence of prudence that I need to be careful and cautious to make wise choices.
Prudence is the spiritual ability to intuitively see one’s own ideal choice. With the discernment of wise insight, courage, gentleness, modesty, true selfishness and integral ingenuity, I am certain of my every prudent choice.
With imprudence, my bravery is foolhardy, mercy is a weakness, I censure my free expression of gentle kindliness and degrade my humility with arrogance. My selflessness is a corruption and my temperance becomes fanatical.
Prudence is the solemnity of my esteemed respectful attention to my intended actions. It is the wise alignment of my instinctive beliefs, my intellectual reasoning and my intuitive meaning; allowing the fulfilment of my imaginative spiritual purpose.
Prudence is my destiny and imprudence is my fate.
