Wisdom
"Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a
life," quote Sandra Carey. Knowledge is otained through self-determination and hard work, but
wisdom can only be obtained through experience.
The exact diccionary definition of "wisdom" states, " an accumulated philosophic or scientific
learning." To me widome is the knowledge that one obtains only through experience and time.
The word wisdom is a Middle English and Old English word. Its earliest origions can be found in
the teachings of ancient wise men (of Babylon, Egypt, and Palestine). It was related to as the art
of living and sometimes to phiosophical problems concerning the universe, man, and God.
Lois Lowry, the author of The Giver, demonstrated the word "wisdom" as the accumulation of
memories Jonas obtained from the Giver. She exemplified "wisdom" as the pain and suffering
Jonas underwent through time and experience.
Again, knowledge is obtained through self-determination and hard work, but wisdom can only be
obtained through experience.
