Wisdom or should I say 'knowledge' can lead to power as one will understand many things from many perspective.
Without the balancing of 'humility' coming from love it will resulted into a very strong self-identification, very strong attachment to limited self-identity and think one-self as 'above' / 'higher' than the other-self who understand less from much lesser perspective. The proud will call those who understand less as 'fools'.
"All streams flow to the sea because it is lower than they are. humility gives it its power.
If you want to govern the people, you must place yourself below them.
If you want to lead the people, you must learn how to follow them."
― Lao-Tzu
