It depends upon how you view wisdom and with what definitive limits you place the definition of wisdom within. If we consider wisdom to be the ability to make the best possible choices in circumstances for which there is no easy solution, then it most certainly is learned. However, if wisdom is more defined as an innate set of rules or internal regulations, then there is an argument for a form of wisdom that is born within us at conception. However, as history, sociology, and psychology have all shown us, behavior is largely learned, not understood. Likewise, wise choices are made not instinctively felt (i.e. we are conscious about our decisions). Therefore, wisdom cannot be hereditary things are those which we are not necessarily aware of or have learned, whereas things which are obtained come with experience and learning.
