What is Wisdom?
Wednesday, August 7th, 2019
The last two posts were all about wisdom.
What is ‘wisdom’?
Some people are smart;
quick or prompt in action, as persons
having or showing quick intelligence or ready mental capability
some are considered intelligent
having good understanding or a high mental capacity; quick to comprehend, as persons or animals;
very occasionally someone is described as wise
having the power of discerning and judging properly as to what is true or right; possessing discernment, judgment, or discretion.
Wisdom is described as
knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action; sagacity, discernment, or insight.
If you’re still not sure of the difference, all I can say is that you didn’t read the two previous posts carefully enough.
If you want a deeper, more philosophical look at wisdom, check out this post in Psychology Today.
