Wisdom and Man Iv

Yes, it is true, 

That Man is a friend of Wisdom: A philosopher,

But

Should Wisdom consider Man a friend of hers?

Good question. Wisdom takes more than knowledge actually wisdom comes from God. I like those hyacinths. I do enjoy their beauty and aroma. Just can't handle them in the house (gives me a headache). Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara

Smart question. If wisdom had to choose, he'd ask what you'll use me for, whether a man seeks it or not. I enjoyed this poem so much, it's a fave.

This post has a real story behind it: In 2002 I was visiting Chinese universities and met the Archbishop of the Catholic church there who asked me if I were a philosopher. " Yes, with the Pythagorian meaning of it," I replied. " What do you mean," He inquired. I went on to explain that the word Philosopher is a compound word made from the words Philos and Sophia which mean Friend of Wisdom and then I added: " I am a friend of Wisdom but unfortunately, I do not know if Wisdom considers me a friend of hers." The Archibishop looked at me for a few moments and then smiling he said: " Obviously, you are a Philosopher." Thank you my dearest friend, Lasaad for your precious comment and for your fave! God bless you!

Certainly, she does know, and definitely, she knows if Man deserves to be called a friend of hers, since Man gives her many reasons to doubt his worth. Thank you, my dearest friend, Vijay! Be blessed!
