Fr. Hardon’s Catholic Dictionary
GIFT OF WISDOM

Definition
The first and highest gifts of the Holy Spirit. It makes the soul responsive to God in the contemplation of divine things. Where faith is a simple knowledge of the articles of Christian belief, wisdom goes on to a certain divine penetration of the truths themselves. Built into wisdom is the element of love, which inspires contemplative reflection on these divine mysteries, rejoices dwelling on them, and directs the mind to judge all things according to their principles.

Maybe, Wisdom being good or evil is b/c the Wisdom if God is good. Man’s attempt at Wisdom can lead to evil. We seek truths & education & intelligence. Do we sway our faith from its pure journey trying to apply earthly things to a Holy Faith. That can disturb our spiritual journey. Just thinking.
