Unactualized Wisdom.

Every human beings mind/brain is like a seed. It keeps growing from a simple seed into a more and more complex tree. When finally it becomes a fruit bearing tree. Depending on the kind of nurturing it gets it sometimes withers away. Other times it grows but has a stunted growth. Still mostly it grows into a fruit bearing tree. Some trees grow into the real deal where they sprout the finest fruit. A good example is the winery plantations. When the soil and the climate is right and the farmer takes good care of the grape plants then the quality of the grapes is across the board excellent.

The nurturing of the brain takes place in similar fashion. When the brain is emotionally and physically nurtured with loving care then the brain grows into a wisdom sprouting organ. As the brain gradually acquires wisdom it gradually sheds ignorance. However due to tradition, culture and habit most parents don't go all the way in removing ignorance and creating a wisdom sprouting brain. The parents are brought up believing that they are the best, as this rarely happens in real life they get frustrated and try to accomplish their own dreams through trying to make their own children the best. Most parents instead of making their child become the best they give the child a false sense of over confidence. As a result the child's wisdom potential gets stunted.

So instead of the child becoming his full and true self he grows a trophy self image of his own self. Thus his humanness/wisdom potential remains unactualized. It is always there but it cannot be used. For most people it is like the person has a huge bank account but is not even aware of it. And not only does he not have access to this solid and pure money, the money that he does have access to is tainted and in terms of life's currency it is devalued causing real physical and emotional problems.

Unactualized wisdom means not only does one not have wisdom he has ignorance running his life. It means instead of a squeaky clean brain the brain is filled with emotional brain garbage. However the real self is always there. And it feels restless being unable to actualize itself. If one feels restless and cannot figure out why perhaps it is his real self wanting to actualize itself. The first step is to become aware of ones own unactualized wisdom potential and then take steps to actualize one's own self/wisdom.
