The Edifice of Happiness

Only when, 

The edifice of happiness,

Is:

Conceived,

Designed,

Built

And 

Maintained

By

Wisdom

And 

Supervised by unselfishness 

Could 

Withstand the test of time!

Kp Nunez Date: 10/19/2015 3:41:00 PM 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! Login to Reply

Lin Lane Date: 10/19/2015 8:02:00 AM 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. Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 10/19/2015 10:49:00 AM 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!
