Using Wisdom

We search and look to grow and develop in Our Lives. We become enlightened when we discover new knowledge, but the finding of Wisdom is elusive, it comes sporadically. It is always easy to go out in the Day and find something new, but that is not Wisdom, it is just knowledge. Wisdom is an understanding of knowledge, of the use of that knowledge, and of the consequences of using that knowledge. It is not just becoming enlightened as to what could be done, but the understanding what will be the result of doing it--seeing the potential mistakes before they happen.
The wisdom of knowing what is going to happen to the Rainforest if we dont stop cutting it, of knowing what is going to happen if we dont stop destoying the Natural Habitats of the Barn Owl. These bits of Wisdom may be small, but the consequences of not heeding them can be enormous. Wisdom may come at any time that we concentrate and work on something within Ourselves and within the Circle of our Lives on the Earthweb. If You look at the strands, the connections on the Web, You begin to glimpse wisdom. It can come to anyone at any time, young people can have wisdom, old people can be idiots: it depends on the individual and what that individual looks at, examines, and finds. Not just what they become enlightened about, but what they actually understand.... |
