And that has made us all the wiser...

What age are you when you’re the wisest you can be? Is it when you’re a newborn baby, full of innocence and no care in the world, unless you need a diaper change or a feed, maybe even just a lullaby?

Is it when you reach your teenage years, when you’re either a straight – A student or rebelling your right leg off? Does knowing right from wrong make you the ‘wisest’ of them all? Is smoking pot really a cure to a common brain disease called “stupid as hell?”

Might it possibly be when you become an adult – whenever that is? Does your brain stop learning because knowing everything an adult possibly can is being the wisest of them all?

Are you the wisest when you’re old and on your last legs, and you can’t even remember yesterday very well? How much do you know when you’re the wisest you can be? Or is being wise in your soul or your heart, not your mind? What does the word ‘wise’ mean? What’s the root of the word? What was its original meaning?

…The only thing I know is that being wise has so many meanings; I couldn’t explain it all in one day, one week, or even a year. So many questions flood the world, but there are never enough answers to soak up the curious waters. Maybe being wise means… not knowing the answers?
