Getting Wiser

I can't say I've ever given much thought to the concept of being wise, perhaps because I've never thought of "wisdom as a stretch goal." I guess I've always felt that wisdom is what it is, and that if you put in the work, it will emerge as part of your character. Here, though, Clark Quinn is trying to find the "characteristics of wise people" - things like kindness, contentment, etc. But I don't think it's like that at all. If I had to say wisdom is anything, I would say that it is being in such harmony with your self and your environment that you fit together as one. That involves various quantities of such things as acceptance, attentiveness, agency, agility and amiability (it's just coincidence that they all start with A). But I would never try to define it and measure these - for each person, in each environment, wisdom is something different. Image: omaok.com
