Wisdom can be gained over a long period time or within seconds
of learning something that changes the way they think and act towards other
humans. It has been said that those with a vast wealth of knowledge are able to
predict the future and events that others would never know of. I believe that
through decisive thinking people can know what will happen and what has happen
that nobody knows of. One thing that is always true about such power as knowledge
is that there is a good way to use it and a bad way. The truth of the matter is
no one needs to know mass amounts of information in order to become wise and
wisdom doesn’t have to come with age. In many ways I would say that wisdom is a
blessing but it can be a curse, knowing things that once said can destroy the
world in more ways than one. This is where I believe that process/cycle comes
in.
In some ways many things are
connected by some sort of process and if not connected then maybe the
connection is process itself meaning everything has a process. This has been my
stepping stone in my ability to learn and think in ways of process. After ages
of asking my parents, relatives, and people I know and even strangers about how
things work I came across the word cycle which related to how most things in
life have. Insects, mammals, fish, any type of animal in general have a cycle.
So I thought what else has cycles well plants, rocks, the earth, the sky, all
these things have a cycle no matter how big or small but what makes cycles
similar are the details within the process. I started to become more interested
in the world and how things worked in a wider scale but I always kept turning
to technology and its endless splendor of new worlds and endless plans of existence.
That’s what made me start thinking even further into the pool of knowledge available
to me at the time. This brought me to experiences, stepping stones, adventures,
and things that would need many people to accomplish but only to the will and
the courage of one man to conquer the boundaries and trials that many before
could not surpass. Using process I can conduct a result of many things such as
how a person would most likely react to something. The reason many people as
smart as this don’t show these abilities is because of two things, first is
that people can always find these people and make them use their abilities for
wrong doing, second and last is that even the wisest of humans can be wrong.
This is a good place to talk about a few of wise statements that have been said
that influenced me.
What I believe is the most profound
speech in existence spoken by none other than Teddy Roosevelt. “We have nothing
to fear but fear itself” is a speech I always remember when I am scared or unsettled
about something. Throughout history there are quotes that have had smaller or
greater impact on the world. Many quotes and phrases uttered with such wisdom
are plastered across the face of time. Another quote by Aristotle “Knowing
yourself is the beginning of all wisdom” I can remember the first time I heard
this quote was in seventh grade looking for a copy of Benjamin Franklin’s
biography when I came across a piece of work talking about Aristotle’s poetry. It
might have just been placed in the wrong section or it might have been fate.
I have found it is easy to offend
people with even the smallest bits of information or in some words the littlest
of insults. This paper may even offend some because of the way I word my
sentences or the main idea/title. I try not to consider myself wiser or better
than most people because they might have different ways of trying to make
themselves feel better if they believe in some little way they are useless or
under other human beings, I can tell you that anyone who believes this to be
true is lying to themselves. Everyone is important I have never seen anyone
that is useless or does nothing to contribute to the universe in some sort of
way. It is said that everyone has their place in the existence. Each and every
one of us brush upon each other’s metaphorical paths of life influencing even
the smallest of grains of sand bring the greatest change to a human being. No
one is the same, the most minuscule changes in shape and form can define who we
are. This is where I should stop my incessant rabbling and change to the subject
of true wisdom.
What I have learned over the span
of my continuing life is that I will never know everything and I will never
know anyone who knows everything in my life, but I know that in death that I will
know someone which will teach me many a great things. Many people just might
have realized that yes I believe in god and many don’t really give a care that I
do, or some people this may affect my relationship with you. Just remember Einstein
quoted that “science without religion is an oxymoron” which does not explain
the his whole idea of that quote being that people need a drive need a purpose,
I choose it because I have a many reasons and none of them have include a
purpose in life. It is a way to live and a way to die but in both sides are beautiful
things. I think this is nearly enough for you to understand but let’s go over what
I have said.
Wisdom can be gained through knowledge
or experience but it can take a lifetime to accept the facts that are put
before you. Process is a keystone to the way I think and the way things can
work. My wisdom came from knowledge which is based off of experiences other
have been through. Information can be a weapon if chosen to be, and even the
smallest pieces of knowledge can cut through diamond. The reality that fuels me
it the fact that I can affect the lives of others. I’m christen which is
another keystone of my life and how I act towards others. This is what I believe
to be the most important thing I have ever learned and I am thanking anyone who
has affected me both good and bad for the idea that wisdom is the most
important thing that I have ever learned.
