@year2027,
Either way you lose; and not to say that is not the object since you may know you are a loser, and only need to accept the fact... If you profess yourself to be wise or foolish you are what you are, and in the first no one will believe you and in the later everyone will... Why bother...
Wisdom is not a quality one is, or can take as their own... Wisdom is something one learns and makes use of, and people are often like books which contain all knowledge and do nothing with it... People may possess relative wisdom like their lives, only so long as they live... The little child who does with what he knows has a better chance in life than the smartest one who does not with what he knows... If you wish wisdom, gain knowledge, but knowledge certain can be acted on, and so proved, and in the process we make evident what we presume, that even by the hand of God, -we are real...
