The Way of the Wise Man !
Wisdom is a product created by wise men !
In every culture , we know there are people who are considered wise , matured and understand life and living better than most around them . These are the men of wisdom ! They may say simple things but there is great depth in their sayings. Sometimes it is just common sense , yet ,we the common people do not understand or comprehend that simple stuff .
We go to them for advice and to get wisdom . What is this wisdom ? Why is this not taught in schools !
How is wisdom different from knowledge ?
We all live our simple , ordinary life in our daily chores . The everydayness
or mundane living can be demanding , tiring , frustrating and most often appears meaningless ! These trivial , petty issues of living can get us so stressed and miserable .
We expect , we demand ,we hope and we want all that we can !
We are rushing around from morning till bed time to meet our basic needs and desires . This everyday rushing can take its toll .
Always wanting ways to lessen the burden of our daily living . This is the way of most common people like you and me !
Then we have the wise men/women and their wisdom .
They are able to see deeper and further than you and me . They are able to see the daily dramas of our living and how it is wearing us down . They can and are able to step back from this game of life !
They are able to see the end game and know that most of us are simply trapped in this merry-go-round ! They can see the patterns and behaviours of our ways that get us into such helplessness .
They can understand better from their knowledge and maturity .
Even a simple saying such as , a stitch in time saves nine has a deep far reaching truth to it !
We all know and can understand that if something is gone wrong or going wrong , we must stop and review that situation . Most of us seem to be in some trance like living ! Only when the situation has gone really rotten or worst that we wake up to some shocks and painful sufferings !
Wise men alert us to be cautious and warn us always to be careful .
Take any part of living and you will see how we are always creating misery and suffering in our life !
We need wise men to always show us the way to a peaceful and happy joyful life and living .
This will do for today or for all days !
Till we meet again , please take care . Oh yes , if you have any comments or suggestions to make , please feel free to do so .
My purpose is to share and hope my blogging helps .
Good day and have a blissful life .

Yes Doctor, you are right. We tend to hold on till things go really wrong before we actually assess the situation we have put ourselves in. Sometimes, there would be warning signs that are clear enough to tell us that "this isn't the right thing to do" but we hold on thinking that things would eventually change and we would attain our desires. Perhaps, that's being positive in a way but optimism has to come with a little of practicality. Please correct me I'm wrong.
ReplyDeleteThere is no right or wrong ! Yesterdays right can become todays wrong and todays wrong can be right in the future ! We too easily get into assumptions and judgements . Experience is our best teacher ! Wisdom is the Principal of the school of Life ! A stitch in time is a wonderful saying that really helps ! Take care. Amar.
