The direction of growth will damage the teeth in front of your wisdom teeth. Hence removal of your wisdom teeth is better.

all your wisdom tooth are fine. its just the left lower one which will cause you trouble in future. if its not causing you any trouble you can delay the extraction for sometime, but when it starts making you uncomfortable u will surely have to get it removed. for preventive measure u can get that one wisdom tooth extracted so that it wont cause u trouble in future as it will affect your adjacent sound tooth too.
