The difference arises solely from whether one pursues learning or not. The distinction between the wise and the foolish lies in studying versus not studying. Those who master practical learning understand the principles of things, secure heavy responsibilities in society, and obtain wealth and honor, whereas those who do not study remain ignorant of reason, gasp in poverty, and must resign themselves to being ruled by others for life. Thus, 'learning' is the sole key to overcoming life's disparities.
