Dear prudence Dictionary.com pru·dence: the ability to govern and discipline oneself by the use of reason. : sagacity or shrewdness in the management of affairs. 3.:skill and good judgment in the use of resources.5- It seems, dear prudence that you’re on holiday permanently, or at least on extended vacation - by the looks, the state of the world in chaos. It seems, dear prudence that you’ve forgotten all school lessons, as when in the corner pouting when you’d lost all reason and discipline, now ranging from wasting resources to pollution; you had better beg for absolution, but forgiveness will not suffice this time; you are past due for change. What to do with you, dear prudence, hands over your ears – won’t hear advice, blind to all with eyes closed; you must speak your mind if you will, otherwise, dear prudence – too late it will be, if left up to others, I fear they are all lacking reason.
