Longevity: Wisdom's Catalytic Crucible
Wisdom is the promise of longevity fulfilled. Wisdom comes not with age but with longevity that has fulfilled its promise. Wisdom does not happen by age and osmosis but through the catalytic action of curiosity, caring, and hard work.
Wisdom requires knowledge and understanding. Before the age of 40 we are often so very busy with job and family that we do not have time for the study and thinking that wisdom requires. Later when time is available we can begin the process of understanding our self and our world. Longevity provides the opportunity if we have the will, curiosity, and caring to accomplish the hard work.
