I have spent my whole life in search of knowledge. As the pursuit of wisdom, philosophy raises questions about almost everything except what it means to question in the first place.
So what is wisdom? Wisdom is defined as knowledge, understanding, experience, and being able to find solutions to problems.
Does everyone have it? Anyone can have wisdom; it’s just a matter of applying the knowledge you already possess to the greater good of those around you.
My pursuit of wisdom is infinite. As long as I am breathing, I will continue to seek it. I am very selective in the books that I read, the places I hang out, the people I engage in deep conversation with, and the people I share my time with. Everything that I do is part of my search for more knowledge; a deeper appreciation of life; a deeper understanding of my surrounding; and of course, learning more about the people around me.
I hope people do not confuse wisdom with religion. A lot of folks believe that we can only gained wisdom by reading the bible or sometimes they view the bible as the sole source of wisdom. I would like to dispute that fact. I just feel like the bible itself was written by a man; and yes it lays out a perfect plan for those who believe in the lord, yet I know that there are a lot of great self help books out there that have benefitted a lot of people.
I urge you to seek knowledge and a better understanding of everything around. It will surely help you in the long run. I’d love to write more about this but it wouldn’t you one bit. It would only be my experience and my own pursuit. So feel free to drop your thoughts and lets talk about this topic.

ReplyDeleteYou are right about wisdom and how people shouldn’t confuse wisdom with religion, but I would like to also add that wisdom comes with age and experiences. To each its own. We all perceive life differently and have our own personal wisdom on how we live our lives.
I believe that wisdom is personal knowledge that comes with learning, acceptance, age and life experience.
ReplyDeleteAbout 2 decades ago, I learned that if someone says something unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it.
A decade later, I learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
At present, I learn that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if you focus on your family, the needs of others, your work, meeting new people, and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.
And just when I think that I'm all set with the wisdom thing, I've learned that "I still have a lot to learn".

ReplyDeleteThat's the beauty of life...education is a continuous process and any man who have claimed to have learned everything they need to know, well, he's in denial.
