True that Man is a philosopher but should Sophia consider Man a philos of hers?* ------ True, Man is a friend of wisdom, but should Wisdom consider Man a friend of hers? © Demetrios Trifiatis 03 July 2018 * Philosopher is a compound Greek word that means friend ( philos) of wisdom (Sophia). Sophia is represented by Athena ( Minerva) daughter of Zeus ( Jupiter). Sophia is called " Tritogeniti" the "thrice born" for to be wise means to think correctly, to speak correctly, and to act correctly. By correctly we mean: According to Zeus' ( God's) commands.)

This my friend , Lyric Man, is not a play of words but the Etymology of words, another Greek compound word which means Etymon " The origin, the true, the real" and Logos the science of thus Etymology is the finding of the origin of the words! Happy you liked it my friend! A joy to share with you these things! Thank you!

Man should walk on the path of knowledge and inhale as much as he could to earn Sophia's friendship! A Questionku of higher rank! A well crafted challenging write! Enlightening and a great pleasure to read! Thank you so much for sharing. A FAV. Stay safe and blessed always.

You are far too generous my friend, Besma! I appreciate your analysis and your appraisal! I am certain Wisdom considers you a very good friend! Thank you!

Wow! It is getting harder and harder dear Demetrios the philosopher! I wonder if I can keep up with your fount of knowledge! Sophia, as you have mentioned, is a symbol of holy wisdom.. she is of a supernatural rank that assumes the aspects of angelic powers.. I think a creature of such status won't befriend a creature of lower rank and of less powers! more over it is beyond Man's reach! At the same time, Man should look up to higher ranks, wider possibilities..

I do not think that you are not able enough to follow on the contrary you are far ahead my dear friend, Besma! Thank you for finding my humble writing worthwhile! Hope many more people would find it the same! God bless you for your kindness and your contribution!

Yes, if Man adapts the three principles of wisdom and never deviates from Wisdom's path then he/she is a friend! Question: How many do that? Thank you my friend, Tom! Have a great time wherever you are! Thank you!

You asked me , my dear friend, to give you an answer .Well here it is: Imagine you are Wisdom and you hold fast to your three principles- to think correctly, talk correctly and to act correctly! Then you see some people who profess to preach love and then you see their actions to be full of hate, furthermore , you see some more people who also say they promote peace and love but instead of condemning those who promulgate hate they applaud them. Would you consider them your friends? In simple words my answer is this. One is a friend of wisdom in the degree he/she adapts wisdom's three principles! Thank you for your gracious visit and comment dearest Maria XXX!
