Wisdom
Wiki defines wisdom as:
wis·dom/ˈwizdəm/
| Noun: |
|
|
| Synonyms: |
sagacity - sapience - prudence - intelligence - learning
|
|
Wonderful but....what does it all mean? These are mere words and, no. 1 actually says '...the quality of being wise'. Right, so if you don't know what wisdom is, you are not going to know what 'wise' is either, are you?
The main question is of course, how do you get it? Is it really the years of accumulated knowledge that makes you wise? I know some very wise 10 year olds for instance, so it can't be just time.
What makes any of the above definitions 'wise' as opposed to just plain, simple common sense? Good judgment is surely a personal thing, in that you acted on YOUR judgment for the good as you believe. Is wisdom a personal thing then? Does a wealth of knowledge make you wise? You can acquire a huge amount of knowledge in a 'criminal' way but would anyone use the word wisdom in THAT regard?
Seems to me that wisdom is one of those nebulous words that implies a vast and profound definition but which actually says nothing at all.
Here endeth today's snippet of wisdom.
Blessed be x

Where to begin…first - I apologize for this being so LONG everyone knows I hate wordy drawn out blogs so ... karma? Who knows.
There’s a small retaining pond behind the college apartments. I go back there several times a day; it’s a good area that forces me to have a bit of a walk. …

The Importance Of Reverse Phone Lookup.

The first three digits of the phone number would also help them locate the owner of the phone number. The thing is that if they had just run a phone number lookup, they could have found each other! Before you get any ideas, let me tell you that these sites are perfectly legal and also offer their services free of cost. This happens to many different people all over the world and many of them don't know how they can identify these pranksters. It's extremely… Continue
We are supposed to be in this together!

I was just endiing a campaign in Michigan against our Governor, and wondered what more was out there, what more can I do to help make my country the place I used to love, when I stumbled across a thing called Livestream, where people with the same purpose (supposedly) or like mindness could come together, chat, discuss, plan, and act and I was to say the least, excited. I started chatting and made so many friends and it was then I realized, that I had been wrapped up in my own small…
