So, I was having a conversation with a coworker about what wisdom is. From my Christian point of view, I said that to be wise is to be able to learn from mistakes, make decisions that would be most beneficial in any given situation, to apply knowledge (know how’s) in situations as well. I believe that there is a difference in being wise and having knowledge. As I stated earlier, I think in order for someone to be wise, they must be able to learn for their mistakes. For example, a very simple one at that, you may stick your finger in an ant pile. Why? Maybe you just don’t know what will result from this action, so to satisfy your curiosity. So you stick your finger in the ant pile. Now you have ants climbing up your arm and biting you which is making you itchy. Well, now you know what happens when you stick your finger in an ant pile. Since you NOW know what happens, it would then be unwise to repeat it again. As for decision making goes, I believe that when making a decision, it should be one that you can gain the most benefit from. It is easy for people (myself included) for you to decide to do something because you want a quick solution, do you really give a second thought about how it will affect you down the road? Like if the options to either buy a house that is out of your price range (that you will only have for a few months) or buy a house that you can afford, it will be wise to get the house you can afford. Yes, you may want that fancy house to show off, but it can cause some serious debt. You won’t be able to make mortgage payments, taxes or, bills, and if you can’t make those payments you won’t be able to make car, credit, and other miscellaneous expenses. Apply what you know to survive and be comfortable. Most people don’t like conflict and don’t like “bad carma.” Try to do the right things and use The skipper and information in abate ed it is tuta you are doing to help you farther yourself without putting down others. I don’t think being wise means your perfect. Only GOD is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, but it is the learning, growing, and moving on of life’s lessons that make you wise. What’s your opinion?
