The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.
Proverbs 22:3 ESV

Humility helps keep you from bad decisions, especially sin. Consider the consequences of your own actions and those of others. Be aware of the shifting winds and the patterns of history and be prepared to respond accordingly. The simple live only in the present and are easily manipulated and overrun by events and their own myopic choices.
