Wisdom and age

Wisdom should logically come as a natural consequence of experience.

Unfortunately it is not entirely cumulative, due to leakage.

Some of life's lessons seem to have a finite shelf life, after which time they must be learned all over again.

In general wisdom does come with age. However it doesn't mean that it does.

"The City of Lost Children" ... (the movie!)

Hey did someone mention THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!?!?

I happen to trust the feel and wisdom in youth ... In the end, the only secret to it all is not "age" ... or "wisdom" ... it's how honest and direct and willing you are

That's been my philosophy for a while. I'm always learning new perspectives from kids while I find that grownups usually aren't as honest (with themselves). As we get older, I guess we pick up too many hangups, and this keeps us from thinking clearly or being honest with ourselves. But a young child doesn't have any baggage, so you'll always get an objective response.

I'd say the most important bits of wisdom I've picked up have come from children & dogs. In both cases you're guaranteed to get a straight answer every time

Like building a new DAW.
Arghh...:)

Space Duck "The City of Lost Children" ... (the movie!) Hey did someone mention THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!?!?

 
I couldn't help it ... it was a film about "stealing the dreams of the child" ... and we live in that age right now ...
 
It's just scary ... some folks are having kids because they are careless ... not because the child means anything ... and that is a scary proposition ... the chance for a life on that kid ... are not very good! ... and I like the other excuse ... having another child and hope to save this marriage! ... it's just a sign that we have lost the ability to talk to the father inside ... after a few thousand years, many books ... we still have no idea what he was talking about or what his mentor 2 thousand years before was talking about ... we know the book ... but the book is not us ... !
 
As MA would say in the POGO cartoon .... we's met the en'my ... it's US! ...

As Brian O'Driscoll said...

"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit....wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad"

Awesome

It's just scary ... some folks are having kids because they are careless ... not because the child means anything ...

Which leads to the 2nd theme of the film: the recklessness of the inventor who created all the experimental "monsters" without realizing the handicaps, deficiencies & deformities he was inflicting upon them (or the notion that it would come back to him in the end).

But yeah, stealing the dreams of the child... replacing it with fear... that's how we lose sight of both innocence & wisdom. Time to pull out the DVD and watch that flick again

Wisdom = Good Judgement
Good Judgement = Experience
Experience = Bad Judgement

Wisdom is measured in the past, not the present.

YES!
 
 
I was posting something similar on another thread ... but the guy thinks that everything I say is left handed and comes with poop ... in other words, all wisdom also comes shrink wrapped in plastic and has lillies and some smelly flavor to entice you to it!
 
That's the difference ... between someone who "knows" ... and the rest! Because that person can separate the advertising from the rest ... and that person is too tied up on his sales ... and I guess he thinks I am bursting his bubble!
 
And that is one of the biggest problems ... we only "know" wisdom when someone has told us about it ... ie, from the Bible to anyone here ... but you show me how many people can find the pearls in all the rest ... not many ... sadly enough not many ... as most people are really afraid to find out ... I was wrong ... or I wasn't good ... or this could have been done better ... but instead ... some of them will get upset and think you're a turkey or a jerk ... not the person you really are ...
 
So, yeah ... it's easy to see how some folks will never find wisdom in Mosh ... ! that's ok ... one can choose there own excrement by what they eat and the same goes for what one thinks!

yet but at what point do our heads explode. follow me. i only know what i learned over the years... which is half as much as the next generation is expected to know... and so on.

 
I have a suggestion on this ... but there are some folks here that won't like it.
 
There is a difference between "knowing" and "knowing-ness" ... and the reality is ... that all you need to know is usually right there in front of you ... if you (or I) are capable of seeing it ... but in the age of advertising this is really hard ... you don't know anything else, and when someone like me says this ... there are people that feel stupid and are not willing/capable of trying to see past the letters to get to the information behind them ... and NO ... I am not hiding ... this is what I know.
 
How you can learn this is what a lot of the "mystic's" are all about ... and some of them are just good talkers and I don't feel they are saying much ... or as I joke ... way too new age'y cage'y for me ... stuck in a box ... nothing new in those words, because that person does not know it ... they can only quote something ... see the difference, already? ... why would someone who knows ... have to quote a book? (... specially when HE (or she) is the book!...)
 
In the end, on an over-populated world ... (this last line is definitly my opinion!) ... this is hard ... super hard ... who you gonna believe?
 
I know only what I see ... and what I see has a color with it ... that color is either lucid or "steel'y" ... and most lucid colors I pick up are clean and ok ... the others are not ... and more often than not have a stentch that comes with it -- and I don't mean that in a bad way ... sometimes it's all a person knows ...
 
And this is what is hard sometimes ... how can you see one from the other ... I say you have to learn to get past the advertising ... or do something similar to what I did ... I learned about auras and colors by watching tv with my eyes closed ... I put my bandana over my eyes ... and I started watching things "blindfolded" ... and then I saw that guy in "Shogun" hit the bull's eye ... and lucky enough that a psychic friend of mine ... kinda explained that ... how he could see that through a closed door and drape and all that ... at that point ... it's called "trust" ... and "knowing" ... and you "know" what you are seeing ... and you aim for it ...
 
It's the same thing with people ... with the exception that some folks are here because they want to sell, some are here for the fun of it, some are here for their DAW ego, some are here to enjoy folks like you and I, some are here because the friendships mean a lot something to them ... some are here because it challenges their daily quota or weirdness ... some are here because ...
 
People are not invisible ... adn some think that no one can see them ... and then tehre are those that walk in ... with poetry and music in their mouth ... and nekkid ... and someone always says ... what the heck ... and it's not even about the work! ... or the word! ... (... and that should tell you a lot! ... )
 
As I say ... you decide!
