Simplified Meaning:
Morality can change over time or be influenced by different cultures and societies. For example, what was considered morally acceptable hundreds of years ago might not be acceptable today. On the other hand, wisdom is lasting; it refers to deep understanding and good judgment that stays relevant no matter what changes occur. Think of someone you know who always gives good advice that makes sense in any situation, no matter when or where. This person is wise because their insights don’t rely on current trends or popular beliefs but on truths that hold up over time. Applying this idea to your life, focus on developing wisdom through learning and experience, rather than just trying to follow the latest moral rules, which might change.
