What does Proverbs 14:6 mean?

The person who mocks truth and refuses to take anything seriously will search for wisdom their whole life without finding it, because wisdom requires humility and openness. Meanwhile, someone with discernment, someone willing to listen and learn with a genuine heart, discovers knowledge almost naturally. It's not that learning is effortless for them, but rather that their posture toward truth actually allows them to receive it. The difference isn't intelligence but attitude: one person builds walls against wisdom while the other builds bridges toward it.
