| PROMPT March 7th What does wisdom mean to you? Give an example. Wisdom is a good topic for today and lends itself to some very deep thought. I believe each of us has an innate wisdom which is specific to us only. It may not be apparent to others, or even apparent to ourselves even, but it is there. It resides deep within the soul and steers us to a better version of ourselves. Wisdom is that which speaks to us in divine whispers, leads on the proper path, and pushes us to the greater glory and good of all. For me, wisdom is that deep-seated knowledge that helps me see the reality of life around me. It is also that deep-seated curiosity that draws me to question and research and seek additional knowledge. It is also that which puts on the brakes. It keeps me in check. It keeps me quiet. It keeps me serene. But I don't always listen to those divine whispers. I don't always remain quiet and serene. Sometimes I lash out. Sometimes I speak hurtful things...things that aren't true...things meant only for malicious mischief. And sometimes I do things that are never in the best interest of anybody. Most times, these "things" that don't define me send me into despair. It's then I allow myself a small pity party. But it's also then that I acknowledge that I am only human. See? That's wisdom in itself. We are only human. We'll make mistakes. We'll forsake the innate wisdom we are blessed with. We'll follow a path unbecoming to our true nature. And in the end? Sorrow and despair. And the willingness to make it right again. For me, that's wisdom. The knowledge that is my own. The divine whispers I hear. The curiosity to keep me going. And the belief that I was never, am not now, and never will be perfect. For me, that's wisdom. |
