Of wisdom


 

A pathway to wisdom is sought,

 

Words must too be written to be of use for no word has yet, not been written. Pursue your dreams without bounds, for the chains of tomorrow have yet been forged.

 

A basic definition of wisdom is the use of knowledge. The opposite of wisdom is folly.

 

Be ye of the masses and see only with your eyes, blinded but to what appears, deaf of its sounds, sleeping peacefully like a child.

 

Awake you Awaken!

The work of our hands pales, to the perceptions we have yet met.

 

By three methods we may teach of wisdom:

 

First, by replication, this is easiest; as every child knows. Repeatedly doing until understanding, lost in reason forced to grow, are these not but our first steps.

 

Regrettably with these a foundation is built.

 

Second, by evidence, which is noblest; The endless questions and associations of why.

To reach for the unseen to feel the unfelt to pounder the values of what is stated as existent, as if time itself is unreal.

 

Alas have you forgotten that time equals nothing, and space has no equal. The more we look the more we have to employ the proof of today is old as our foolishness to follow.

 

 

Lastly third by experience, this is the bitterest. The patterns reveled and folly accepted. Who ever sets in that chair has understanding of repair. A steward of history; least of which is his.

 

Alas the price is regretting itself that comes with comprehension the least he be.

 

"He is the wisest man who knows himself to be ill-equipped for the study of wisdom", Plato
