Wisdom
There is truth to be found in mistakes. No matter the education we claim to possess our best teachers are our mistakes. Truth wisdom is learned through the suffering of our mistakes in this circle we call life; the knowledge and wisdom we possess are learned through our walk-in life, not in books.
Yes, we can become an intellect by reading and studying books; intellects are running our world, how is that working for us?
Jesus Christ was not a book-learned man, Siddhartha Gautama, not a scholar, these are just two of the greatest men that walked the earth. They set forth beliefs as to how human beings should treat each other. They did not want their teachings and belief patented or copyrighted, as a matter of fact in all their teachings and sermons they preached go forth and spread their word. As a matter of fact, neither was alive to sign any copyright infringements on their teachings to anyone.
What would either say today if they were alive to see how twisted their teachings have been perverted for reasons to make money. Especially when the true meanings of their teachings are barely understood by the so-called educated?
We should give mistakes a prestigious title "Professor Mistake", I do know that in my walk through life I have learned more from my mistakes than I did in school or college ... Truth is one; Jesus Christ despised intellectuals and money; and so did Siddhartha Gautama. It is very important to keep things in a proper perspective and not stray far from the truth. A peaceful warrior must always be ready for battle for there are many that spread verbal diarrhea. I have grown accustomed to keeping a roll of toilette paper handy.
There would be no light without darkness, and there would be no darkness without light.
