Wisdom is knowing to step around the doggy poop without having to ask why!

Wisdom is knowing that there is more to every situation than you can understand. Wisdom is humility and an open mind. Wisdom is not necessarily stepping around the dog droppings.

IMHO wisdom means the ability to accept that you are wrong, know when that time is, and look for other answers.

Ego and wisdom are conflicting ideas and you have a great deal of ego with the assumption of your wisdom. You have yet to provide anything but you opinion on wisdom and each time you have noted how wise you are. I'm sorry but I just don't see it. Perhaps I am an oaf by your definition though I am trying very hard to understand.

Either my ability to understand your meaning is flawed or your ability to coherently explain yourself is flawed. Either way, we do not agree on your definition of wisdom or your claim of having it.

@Dustin phil,
Icon,

I am not sure what your problem is with my thoughts on this matter but I will have to leave you with yours.

If you cannot understand what I have discussed and have drawn these conclusions based upon what was said, than we have both gone as far as we can go.

Nice chatting with you!

Didymos,

We are once again getting into a matter of semantics.

Being, God, spirit soul, Creator.

Why do we all insist on trying to draw a face on the balloon?


Just to try clearing things up. Maybe what he meant was

Being- is that which exists

God - the very subsistent existent himself

Spirit/soul - immaterial existent

Creator - First cause, first efficient cause

Whatever the truth or non truth is about reincarnation I do not like it and will never ever come back to bleak earthly existence if I could choose my destiny
