"Kindness is more important than wisdom." Oooo! Waxing philosophical are we? I love it. (Where's Mr. Underhill and Kalessin?)

Kindness is inherent in wisdom, and being easier, is a logical first step. Though perhaps one has to be wise enough to know that, or otherwise be guided or stumble into wisdom and recognize the first step in hindsight. The wise consistantly demonstrate kindness, or they have "left the path of wisdom." There is a difference between wisdom and vast knowledge, which is amply typified in Saruman. His vast knowledge untempered by wisdom destroyed him, as it did nothing but feed his pride.

Only likes and dislikes are a matter of opinion.
