What good is wisdom? How do you get wisdom, from where? Is it wisdom upon which we can depend? Is it better to have all the money in the world or to be known for wisdom? Is wisdom finite or infinite, which is better?
Is safety and security found within the herd or outside? How many lions will it take to bring "you" down? What's the reality of it all? Are you infallible? Do you know any truths with certainty? Then, why are we never prepared for the unexpected? Why is every situation a disaster? Finances, health care, autos, housing, Iraq, Oil... is it reality or fiction? Think about that for a moment::: We're so smart, yet everything we touch,,,,literally "turns to shit". Our water, education...
Is wisdom in a book, any book or any one religion? What about our parents, communities, neighborhoods, is there room for improvement? ON what are we working, what's our priority, why is it so secretive? Expecially, when all we ever produce is shit. If you we do make or ever admit to making mistakes, from what can we learn. Where are the after action reviews, we just keep shitting and stepping in it. Ever wonder how you really smell? Do you think others can smell you coming?
A wise person makes wise people. With whom does being wise start? If you are wise, in thought and deed, your wisdom will reward you and wisdom is better than gold?. As a man think...so is he. We are wise when we learn from the mistakes of others, not from a few, but many.
Being wise means taking personal responsibility, practicing self-displine and not depending on someone else to do it for you. Or we say someone else is more qualified, we do not have time...What you do not value will not be valued. We can craft a society whose leaders are less obsessed with greed. The question is, Do we really want that?
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding. Not earthly wisdom but wisdom from the Word.
Listen and observe, speak less. Faith comes from hearing the message and is increased as I increase my exposure to the Word..
Nine-tenths of wisdom consists in being wise in time.
As we seek spiritual guidance we hear the voice of the One who knows. We know, for us to be who and what we are, there has to be a force greater and wiser than ourselves. Just look up into the sky and all you can see is like a grain of sand compared to the rest of the universe. That space alone is enough to keep you busy for a life time.
I have not a clue who Albert Einstein really is, but I do know he's no match for Mother Nature. Mother Nature is still here alive and well.
The person with wisdom in their heart is found more truly prudent than many who possess shining talents. The LORD by wisdom founded the earth, By understanding He established the heavens. So what must we do for ourselves?
No, you can not learn wisdom from a book. You can read about it, but reading might not make you get up off your butt and do something about it...But if you experience "it", you will be more inspired and inclined to do something about "it".
Then, how did our ancestors get wisdom, so you may be able to do all the crazy stuff that you do today? The journey through life teaches wisdom, so wisdom can only be gained through travels. Where are our matriarchs and patriarchs or did you learn how to get here own your own? IF you don't know, you had better ask somebody.
