Madisgram.... Yes.  We are born to be wise, but it's a choice to some extent. Wisdom is the ability to use knowledge for ultimate decision making (discernment.)
While I do believe that there are those who have a larger capacity for knowledge, that doesn't necessarily make them wise. And there are some people who are wise with limited knowledge, but their wisdom in one or two areas (of knowledge) is astounding!
I think it's more than knowing/learning right from wrong, (and I agree that that ability is inborn) it's deciding to do what is "right" when confronted with the facts. Without knowledge, how can one have enough facts?
We are all born with a brain that can do more than we ask. Maybe wise people have learned to ask for more?
