Write a precis of the following extract and give it a suitable title :

The essence of wisdom is emancipation as far as possible, from the tyranny; of the here and the now. We cannot help the egoism of our senses, sight and sound and touch are bound up with our on bodies and cannot be made impersonal. Our emotions start similarly from ourselves. An infant feels hunger or discomfort and is unaffected except by his own physical condition Gradually, with the years, his horizon widens, and in proportion as his thougts and feelings become less personal and less concerned with his won physcial states, he achieves growing wisdom. This is of course, a matter of degree. No one can view the world with complete impartiality, and if anyone could, he would hardly be able to remain alive. But it is possible to make a continual approach towards impartiality, on one hand, by knowing things somewhat remote in time or space, and on the other hand, by giving to such things their que weight in our feelings. It is this approach towards impartiality that constitutes growth in wisdom.
