Wisdom

Posted on by karthirony2000

Wisdom is overrated

Look around the world 

One need not be wise to live

Better even to thrive

One could coast through life

With no wisdom whatsoever

One could become powerful

Without an iota of self awareness

Let alone wisdom, who then

Is wisdom for?

It is for those who long

To be remembered in posterity 

But when posterity is not a given

Is wisdom of any real value?

One thought on “Wisdom”

  1. It is to pessimistic to look at wisdom as a way of benefit or perceived benefit. It could and should be looked at as a way of guidance for ethics to others and to teach. It will never replace those in power or advantage as that is human nature for some. It is a form of guidance not benefit, a counter to unjust, greed and power to help humanity.

I feel it is narcissistic of me to explain about myself. I want to consider myself as an explorer. Hence my blog title Thedal Payanam(Roughly translates as Journey towards exploration). Enjoy if you like, don't give a shit if you dislike - Either way I am not going to give a damn about what you think of my blog.
