Hi you guys, no need for introductions to, you're here, I'm here, life's short, let's cut the crap!
What is wisdom?
Everyone has their own perspective on wisdom, so the entirety of the concept can't be explained by a certain individual. Basically, wisdom is a food with only one flavor, but it still seems like it has billions of flavors because we all taste it differently, so we cannot inform anyone of the taste. We all understand that wisdom is defined partially by good judgment which comes from experience. But there's more to it, and the battery of comprehension in our minds begins to run out from there if we try to explain to ourselves the true definition, because there is true definition to us, since we have our own ideas. Part of wisdom is learning from the perspective of others and making it into one deeper perspective. If we all thought the same, we'd have no perspectives to learn from, which means no wisdom, and we can have other qualities of wisdom, but we can't call ourselves truly wise without them all. Having some qualities of wisdom is the equivalent of a cheese sandwich without cheese.
A common statement about wisdom is that it is automatically within all of us. No, wisdom is not an automatic gift, we continue to discover wisdom after a long voyage on the ship of experience.
