It is that which we seek? Is it that which is why we're here at sciforums? Regardless, let's see what you got. In your infinite reflections, what has been revealed to you? I'll offer two, feel free to criticize or add your own. Please, feedback is appreciated: True wisdom comes at the price of knowing you'll never really know anything. The only route to truth is faith. Faith in what is up to you. I choose reason. Reason is my savior. Oh, and a bonus: Jesus can't love you because he's dead. I didn't kill him but I thought you should know.
Do you expect sincerity in man when hypocrisy is the very keynote of human nature? No, I yearn for it. I believe it can reside in intention. We are nurtured on it; we are schooled in it, we live by it. Again, to an extent, but it the intention is pure, the journey is worthy. ; and we rarely realize it. mostly. few realize I think the fact that they are hypocrites by nature. you are, I am, we is. nature of consciousness I believe. You have seen it rampant and out of hand in France during the past four years - cant and hypocrisy on the lips of the revolutionaries, cant and hypocrisy on the lips of the upholders of the old regime; Have not. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! ( I am ingorant of that) a riot of hypocrisy out of which in the end is begotten chaos. that's quite a statement. And I who criticize it all on this beautiful God-given morning am the rankest and most contemptible hypocrite of all. We are all hypocrites. It can be minimized with earnest intent. Jesus is dead, forgive yourself. It was this - the realization of this truth kept me awake all night. Did that to me too for a long time actually. Until I accepted that oh, it's inevitable. I am no innocent. I do have will however, and I can try to not be a hypocrite. I think kind of half the thing is that you know you are one, the other - earnest intent. Hehe, it could probably be said however, that earnest intent coupled with limited cognitive ability might be worse than a dire intent eh? Hehe, at least in that case the dire intent is aligned with outcome.
Some just can't stop asking questions (like me). I have yet to decide if this classifies as a blessing or curse (another question!)
maybe we all should start "Questioners Anyonymous." my name is susan and I ask questions. I feel lonely.
"Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it." - Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
You guys are a tough crowd. I suppose you're saying I should have asked "What kind of knowledge can you communicate here that you've gained from your wisdom?". Sheez. You should know what I mean. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
well I'd say that we are acquiring wisdom about online/hyperspace communication. it is something we are experiencing together, with strange time delayed and no physical contact.
We must assume the person on the other end of the line is wise. If they aren't there's not much we can do about that. Ie: Muscleman.
I guess if you are wise, you might know it. But you wouldn't declare it.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! You would know better.
so so is 'wisdom' really the search for someone wiser than yourself? or is it acceptance of yourself as wise? or is it providing 'wisdom' to someone else? is it the same as 'enlightenment,' or only a pre-requisite?
wesmorris, Wisdom comes from Love. Not quite. It is true that we know nothing, but it is also true that many of us we know someday. I believe that our minds are extremely limited, but our spirits are unlimited. Not quite. The only route to Truth is God's Faith, which is Love. Remeber that there are many illusions, but there is only one Truth. He is not dead. He is alive. He is just not physically alive.
moonman Is Wisdom the same as knowledge? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- notme2000 No, far from it. Knowledge can be taught. Wisdom can not. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- moonman Ah yes, the wise man knows to question. While the fool only knows the question. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- EvilPoet "Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it." - Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha I agree. And I add that knowledge comes from experience while wisdom comes from Love... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
