Human wisdom is indeed limited unless he is wise enough to heed God's call.

This is brilliant and beautiful. Leaving your pages for a while equates throwing away refined Gold into the pacific. Now I know why my hands itch when away from your pages. Top notch mental exhibition and a powerful seven. Its been a while wonderful friend!

The absolute truth. With just one line we could have a conversation that would last weeks at the minimum. You are blessed with the best of all intelligence.

- But without wisdom ... hard to understand - I think wisdom is very useful - The one who walks thoughtless through life ... does not understand anything - Go wisely through life, learn everyday ... and use your wisdom - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Dearest Anne-Lise, we should not confuse logic, learning and knowledge with wisdom: the absolute certainty of truth! Man remains forever a philosopher i.e a lover of wisdom and of truth but never becomes wise and never has the certainty of absolute truth! Fortunately Man has realized that so the highest degree of learning is a Ph. D. = Philosophy Degree of Mathematics, of Science, of Philosophy etc. In other words our highest degree of knowledge, by definition, is an acceptance of ignorance! Tank you dearest friend for your precious visit and comment!

It is debatable whether man has any wisdom whatsoever! Nature tries to teach us too, but we simply do not listen! 7+
