I think you may be getting knowlage confused with wisdom there.crudus said:
It certainly is possible to just have wisdom, if you touch something hot you gain the knowlege that5 it really fucking hurts, your wisdom tells you that you should be carefull not to do it again.
Pretty sure they have it. They just think it is better to ignore it.mcpop9 said:
So you are saying that before you touch the stove you already had the wisdom to "no do it again"? Socrates didn't start with "I am wise because I know I know nothing". Descartes didn't know since birth "Cogito ergo sum". They sought those answers. However, I will agree there is a fine line between wisdom and knowledge and they do go hand in hand frequently.moretimethansense said:
Personally, I'd say I value humour most.
But as for a single quality for getting ahead in the normal human world?
Good looks, or if you don't have that, sheer never ending determination.
Oh and love is nothing. It rarely even truly exists anymore, and I'm not even damn sure whether it ever did, or whether it was even any good to most people. Compassion however is endlessly important in a peaceful, civilised society. The ability to care about other human beings, their emotions and dreams, is important to coexist with each other.
Shame compassion is pretty much dead, stupidly replaced with the aforementioned nigh on non-existant emotion.

Control,
Knowing when to stop and when not to get involved. and being in control of your other emotions is what's important.

Kindness and compassion (I'd say they go together) because being an asshole just waters down the experience for everyone else, and you don't really have that right.
Actually I think it's the hubris prayer from Megalomaniacs Anonymous. Man that would suck. Having to listen to that whiner Lensher sob about his childhood while Luthor sleeps through the meeting and Doom keeps bumming your smokes to keep his voice up to snuff.WaderiAAA said:The triforce?The Code said:the Power to change the world for the better,
the Courage to make that change happen,
the Wisdom to know when to stop.
Cookie for the reference.
Crudos I'd like to read that paper, what grade did you get on it?
It's on topic so why not post it?
Competitiveness. We define ourselves through conflict, without that conflict we degrade and even lose our sense of self and self-respect, two qualities that are very valuable.
It's more like wisdom is how we use knowlege.crudus said:
Knowlege is information, wisdom is what you do with it.
At least that's how I understand it.
