Wisdom..what indeed is Wisdom?


An old, experienced bull and his young offspring are standing on top of a hill over looking a small group of females. The young bulls says "let's run down there and get us one of those females".

The older experienced bull said "let's walk down and get 'em all".

Wisdom.

I like to go to bed with a smile on my face...and this vignette brought one. But I would question the definition as being Wisdom and suggest that it is experience and a quest for opportunism rather than Wisdom.

I agree. It's just the first thing that came to mind.

Wisdom is the ability to recognize the deception that is the social you and the you that really exists when comfortable and not afraid of censoring. How many truly present their true being? Is this duplicity a good thing or not?

Aristotle maintained that wisdom was an investigation into causality.

How did the word evolve? Etymology, anyone?

One thing I haven't noticed mentioned while wisdom means many things to many people and I may have missed it in previous post for me one thing I don't believe wisdom is and that is a weapon.

Benjamin Disraeli said pretty much the same thing - "it's a wise man who knows nothing".

...it is a wise person who realizes that they may not know it all... but that they do possess invaluable knowledge that leads to peace that passes understanding and is quite right and proper.
