It's worthy to ponder once again, sire, this metaphor of edifice applied to happiness. Only now did I realize that the root word of 'edifying' is edifice. All the requisite stages you mentioned are certainly a must too for wisdom. It is closely associated with happiness, right sire? Bless you for being you! 7. hugs!

Nice expressions, Demetrios. It's the "Maintained by Wisdom" that causes us to stumble. Knowledge is wasted if we don't have the wisdom to apply it properly. You, sir, are wise.

Lin, my dearest, you are so generous with your comments! Wisdom is to think correctly , to speak correctly and to act correctly. If we think one thing, say a second and act a third then we never wise! Yes, you are right, knowledge means nothing if we do not apply it correctly! Thank you for your kind visit and delightful comment!
