       Let us breakdown the word wisdom to help our minds explore what James is speaking of here. To lack wisdom? Wisdom could be defined as understanding, intelligence, knowledge, common sense, the best choice, good judgment, prudence, what is logical, what is rational, what is sound. One reason we can lack these things is because we are not all-knowing and omniscient. We sometimes have to take gambles. This is where a fear of being imperfect needs to be relinquished. The person who always strives to be perfect is incapable of acting in many varying life situations, especially ones like we are taking about that don’t have a clear answer. As I am a human, and so are you (unless you're listening from your saucer), we cannot always make the right choice all the time. It is part of our personhoods, part of our beings, as humans, to make mistakes. There is something wrong with us if we don’t.
