Wisdom

The virtue of wisdom is a powerful one indeed. Wisdom is said to be gained and sharpened with the passing of time and is represented most often by elders. This scenario can be true and I believe it mostly is the case. Wisdom to me, is the knowing of many things and providing helpful advice where needed. I know many things already and I also provide advice on the rare occasion that I speak. Does that make me a wise man? In the place I live and that individuals I am surrounded by most of the time, sure. However learned I may be at this very moment and point in life, I can not call myself a wise man just yet, I still have very long to go until then. If one loves learning, one will harvest the fruits of wisdom later on.

After thought:

Virtues is back! Finally, we have the virtue of wisdom, a good one indeed. One that can go on forever and not diminish over time. What I think about wisdom is that I like the concept of it. I like the word itself, I love the meaning and I love my interpretation of it as well.
