Prudent is the act that mediates between incontinence and abstinence. Aristotle says: is prudent who is capable of reflecting and judging in a convenient way about the things that should favor his virtue and his happiness.

Hugo Mujica tells us: "Etymologically, "wisdom" comes from the Latin word "sapere", from which two words derive: "know" and "flavor", two words that indicate the same thing: knowledge that knows , liking it, what life is about, a knowledge that eats the fruit of life, not a theoretical knowledge "about" life. Wise then is not the one who thought life but the one who let life tell him what she herself learned by living him, who let life give her its flavor: reveal its meaning. Not the meaning that he gives to life, but the meaning that life itself is: his giving of himself, his giving of himself. The sage is a witness, not a teacher. He is the one who "tastes" everything that lives."

In the Mandala of Emotions, prudence belongs to the family of virtues. Prudence and temperance are daughters of passion. When passion is regulated, prudence and temperance are born.

The good exercise of virtue leads us to happiness, the bad exercise of virtue to the loss of happiness. This depends on the mode, the occasion and the duration of the emotion.
