Wisdom Can Not Be Shared, Only Knowledge Can

Knowledge Without Wisdom Is Possible - Wisdom Without Knowledge Is Impossible

Each waking day, I’m on a mission to collect a little more knowledge and wisdom than the day before. While my books help me so much for the former, it gets a bit more complex for the latter. In fact, both of them tap into different parts of ourselves. Knowledge is acquired through the mind, while wisdom comes from the soul. One does not need to be wise to gather knowledge. However, having both wisdom and knowledge makes for magic, as together, they can provide the opportunity for growth.

Society readily assumes that with age comes wisdom.
That is a false assumption to make.
With age one certainly has more experience and perhaps a deeper understanding of life, but that does not guarantee the fact that the person has acquired more wisdom.

Wisdom requires an awareness.
It’s a choice one makes to discipline both his mind and his heart so they work in synchronization.
The truth is that knowledge does not change behavior. We can know on some level that doing certain things are wrong, but is that always enough to prevent us from doing them? If that were the case, I think the world wouldn’t be where it is as of today. I believe that each day life gives us the opportunity to learn something new out of life, and that there’s no limit to the wisdom one can acquire throughout his life on here. Which leads to the next fascinating fact regarding wisdom.

Knowledge Has A Limit - Wisdom Is Limitless

It still strikes me to think that schools focus solely on building our outer selves/external value. In my eyes, this approach defeats the whole purpose of the ultimate goal of life. There is so much more value in making us, human beings, good to each other and to ourselves, than there is in making us obedient little workers. The schooling system does not instill in us any wisdom, it rather tests our ability of regurgitating all the info which they shove into us.

Another belief of our culture is that if one is educated, one is a good person. That couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s certainly not because you pursued some form of higher education that your smartness in whichever field you studied, equates your kindness in the real world. Sadly enough, I’ve met some of the most brilliant minds hidden behind hearts of stone.

You can be the most intelligent person on the planet, yet how much is it worth if you don’t use your potential to become the better version of yourself?
Not only does knowledge has a limit, but our mind also has a limit to how much info it can contain and remember at a time. On the flip side, there will never be a limit to how much you can invest into your inner value.
