Meaning
This reads as a claim that insight is already present within people, but often remains buried under routine and distraction. It can be taken to mean that wisdom is less something we add and more something we make room for. It lands in quiet moments, like reflection, journaling, or a hard decision, when slowing down lets an inner clarity surface.
