Wisdom teaches us something impulsiveness often forgets: Knowing something is true does not automatically mean this exact moment is the right time to reveal it. That tension appears throughout S.O.L.A.D.™: Soldiers of Light Against Darkness™: The Angelo™ & Angeline™ Chronicles, and few characters represent it better than Wiseman J.

A character who spends 300 pages refusing to trust anybody should not suddenly become emotionally open because the story reached the final chapter. A selfish character should not become sacrificial because the climax needs them to. A coward should not turn fearless because the writer wants a heroic moment. A bitter person should not forgive years of pain after one speech unless the story has carefully built the emotional road that gets them there.

Eventually, you can become so busy tending everybody else’s field that you neglect the one God actually assigned to you. That is why one of the most important questions you can learn to ask is not simply, “Can I help?”
