" WISDOM'S SUN " MY PHOTO, ©

May be an image of ocean, nature, cloud and twilight

Advisable would be for someone who endeavors wisdom to attain Socrates' rebukes to seek rather than the applauds of fools to obtain! © Demetrios Trifiatis 17 May 2021

Your words recount a story of truth and wisdom, Dear Freind Demetrios. However, many are taken in by the acclamation of dolts; when it stops, they are devastated.

In days gone by being street wise was a learning curve, today they say no one fails academically, applauding fools is the byword for success. great poem, my friend, you are so right..

They confuse accumulation of information with wisdom and they become fools themselves, my dearest friend, harry. Thank you for your input . Blessings.

There are those who become intoxicated by applause and when it stops they are destroyed. Your words tell a tale of truth.

Yet many are taken in by the applause of fools, we see evidence of it everyday especially with government ministers. Tom

- In the most difficult situations, people are aware that they need to be wise, my friend ... with life experience, wisdom accumulates over time ... some are wiser than others, it's natural I would think :) - Well written :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

True! Knowledge is accumulated with learning and experience as time passes by. Therefore, one may be more knowledgeable than another. However, wisdom is something different. One may not be wise, even if he has a lot of knowledge. Thank you for your lovely visit and comment dearest, Anne-Lise. Hugs xxx
