Yes, wisdom, the dominion of the wise, often associated with old age
and life experience. Though I've met some young that were wise, it
was mostly specific without a broad spectrum of knowledge. Perhaps
they were just more aware or in tune with certain aspects of life.
What is true wisdom? The wise old sage once said "wisdom is the
accumulation of knowledge", but then again what is knowledge and what
knowledge does one have to be perceived as having wisdom? Having
knowledge of mathematics, science or business does not necessarily
render a person as wise. In that sense I don't think that education
has to play a part in attaining wisdom and secondary to that I think
that wisdom is subject to categorization.
Each person individually gathers the necessary blocks of knowledge
that culminates into the specific wisdom he or she can offer. The
wisest of people may not have a clue as to what words of wisdom are
needed for the recovering drug addict, the alcoholic etcetera etcetera
ecetera.
I have many times been thanked for my words of wisdom and each time
thought they were just words coming from my insight into a problem,
the ability to logically sort it all out, simply viewing their world
from outside looking in. Is wisdom simply pointing out aspects that
another does not see or does not understand, the discernment of a
hidden truth within the minds of others? Remember, any idiot can be
perceived as a genius around a group of morons.
I've traveled many roads since birth, travailed many hardships,
enjoyed countless excursions into the unknown, felt much pain and
anguish mentally and physically but still the journey goes on and each
year is in no way like any preceding year, possibly the scary part,
just look at Lee and Ling.
So if wisdom comes with experience and if experiences can change,
wisdom changes and therefore can be considered an aspect of life that
is continually evolving.
And now for the real awakening about modern day wisdom. Little 10
year old Billy Bushwacker joins a social group and answers everyone's
inquiries with answers that come from Internet search engines like
Google and web sites like Wikipedia while receiving accolades of
appreciative adoration from the unsuspecting members.
So I would recommend to all, if you want real wisdom, make sure you
get it in person! Unless of course you are getting from the Slippy
Fishy Gadfly! {;-)
So what is your take on this wisdom venture?
