What Is Wisdom?

Goldfinch60



In our lives we learn many things. 

We get taught at school and college, 

New things being shown to us, 

Giving us the knowledge to move forward. 

And as we travel through our lives 

We gain experience, 

Experience cannot be taught, 

But what it does it gives us more. 

It gives us wisdom, 

And wisdom is the difference, 

The difference between knowledge and experience.

    Yep, true. People have knowledge that I can sing (supposedly), so they have wisdom not to experience it! They run away, or banish me to the hills. heehee.

      So true Orchi, those hills must be suffering! LOL

        Wisdom is life's teaching for those who become wise enough to learn.

        Confusious he say 'great men are seen before many, wise men are seldom seen'.

          So true d a, many people just do not listen.
