Thanks Welles! I quite liked that, and found it to be pretty on-the-money as far as my own ever-evolving perception of wisdom and what it is to be wise. An important thing it pointed out is how intelligence and wisdom are NOT one and the same, and I feel that, too often, this mistake is made.

As well, it seems humility is almost an inherent symptom of wisdom, yea? Those obsessed with knowledge and intellect are constantly striving to state and acknowledge their wealth of knowledge and intellect.. where the truly wise, it seems, are constantly assessing and re-evaluating their remaining wealth of foolishness and the *lack* of what they know. Just my two cents!

That reminds me, an age-old question for the wise here.. if it's a penny for your thoughts and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny?

Love

Haha. The other penny is saved. As we all know "a penny saved is a penny earned". Each penny saved adds value to your future opinions.
