Summary

Discernment-the quality of mind that analyzes and perceives accurately the nature of something and then forms a thoughtful and accurate judgment about it-is not something chanced upon or casually adopted. Discernment is a facet of the mature person, of a certain temperament, who can see through the superficial and illusory to the heart of the matter. While relying, to a certain degree, on innate intelligence and curiosity, discernment needs to be cultivated. It requires discipline and education.

Author Biography
