What is Wisdom????

[Hermann]

I think I'd describe "Nature" (The Universe & Everything) as Godde's Original Bible, and anything our pitiful anthropocentric human brains can imitate as symbols on paper (or pixels in a machine) as a distant copy.

I wish you still had your garden, Hermann; I would love to have visited it.

Thanks!

I often wondered what might have happened had we kept our old nature religions where worship is worship of nature and nurture.

Celtic Christianity tried to bring the ancient Celtic/Druidic nature worship into Christian religion. We are now seeing a revival of Celtic Christianity.

Hi Bette: Here is a picture of my old garden. I am holding one of my white egg plants.

How absolutely lovely. Oh, happy times for you. Looks like it kept you both very busy and very happy!

I admit at times when I am trying to get someone who is really busy to attend a meeing, I suck up by asking for them to share their wisdom.

I was reminded of this ploy when I read qwerty's post regarding the hierarchy.
Wisdom is something that can be acquired through experience, and goes along with knowledge. One can have knowledge without wisdom. One can impart wisdom in situations where you have little knowledge on the particular topic but, may have lots on the interplay of humans.

Yes, it kept all of us very busy and very happy. Half of what I grew I gave away to relatives and friends. Kept them happy, too.

It's a lovely garden.

Thanks, Pinga.

Intelligence is knowing that tomatoes are a fruit. Wisdom is knowing they don't go in fruit salad.
