Wisdom Or Opinion

Once Plato and Lao-Tzu had their own blog

Since their philosophies thought mighty strong

Expected people much to read

With wisdom themselves to feed

But readers chose instead opinion's fog!

- Dear Demetrios, often it is neither wisdom or opinion - we choose a solution or answer that is neither positive or negative - or close our eyes to the truth - A great poem ! - hug // Anne-Lise :)

Between wisdom and opinion we find knowledge! It is impossible for us to find something that is neither positive not negative if we do not possess the necessary knowledge to judge! Opinion therefore without knowledge is worthless and dangerous! Thank you for your visit and constructive comment, dear Anne-Lise!
