@Hal Pollner Yeah, I've changed but very little; the pic was taken outside Susanville, CA in 1975. My weight is the same now as it was at 25, but the mind and body have otherwise deteriorated irretrievably. Frank
Did you ever look for someone wise ? Did you ever look for someone who heals people instead of harming them ? Could you tell the difference if you found one ? I don't think most people are able to.
Wisdom in my opinion is having the courtesy to listen to others, absorbing and filtering out that which is accurate. Knowing when to keep one's mouth shut is certainly wise. Imparting any knowledge you know to be accurate and admitting to being wrong when you are.
Wisdom is knowing 'when in doubt do nothing' and when making sure your in the Right before you proceed.
