Wisdom

Wisdom is the accumulative gathering of experience and knowledge. In books and movies wisdom is shown through age, and more times than not, a long white beard.

Wisdom is something that all people have to a certain point, but some people just do not use it. Benjamin had wisdom because he has experienced everything, but just never used it. Napoleon uses his wisdom to know how to use propaganda to be able to control the other animals. Old Major was using his wisdom to start a rebellion.
