Wisdom
Wrestling with the questions of
the past few days, it has become rather apparent, that wisdom is something
that should not be discounted. For example, it is wise to consider ones
own limits and to change and adapt to them. It is not necessarily possible
to overcome them, but one can account and adapt for them, perhaps finding
another way to add to the wealth of experience that is life, without having
to unduly risk life in the pursuit of experience.
It is with this in mind, and by way of giving back to the people, that
I provide the following wisdom, as such I have experienced, culled and
excerpted. I hope it is of use. More should be forthcoming in future
articles, but this is not necessarily a promise for more of the same or
different. Wisdom is found, brought to fruition by experience, the open
mind and honest heart. Wisdom, does not have quotas.
