Is wisdom better than beauty? How?

Knowing, observing, seeing, or measuring are phenomenologicall temporal effects on Being...they are not exclueded of it...and yet Being in itself is atemporal, its forms are eternal forms, its beauty a necessary and absolute beauty...you obviously have no clue on what I am talking about Vik...so be it...I am not feeling any inclination for drawing a sketch out of it...

That's fine by me Fil, as many aspects of philosophy hold little to no interest for me - I don't see Philosophy as just an exercise in intellectual thought, but as something that can be used to improve life. Because of this, I prefer philosophy in simple terms, and in stories, and in examples (which are just stories anyway).

May I comment that if 'being' is what is thought, then phrases such as "phenomenologicall temporal effects" are unecessary?

silly question really , wisdom

Truly... I have often been called wise by people I know because of insight or what most of them would call deep thinking on life and life's lessons... But I have taught myself a few as well... I figured out how to hit myself in the back of the head, hard, with a hammer... I could call such talent fate, or call myself blessed, but the fact is that when I did it I was intending something entirely different and my mind was on that activity... Still, what I have been called I don't suppose I would call me... You pay a price to have your head in the clouds, and it is found in all the **** you can locate to trip over...
