What is the difference between knowledge and wisdom?

Posted on Jul 2nd, 2008 by Nicole
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 02, 2008:

Knowledge can be taught in school. The cold hard facts. Not always pretty, and not always helpful, but it is usually the presentation of what is believed to be the truth.

Wisdom is something much deeper. Wisdom has to be learned from experience and growing. This is not to say that only older people are wise. I know several people younger than myself who are much wiser.

What you say is very wise.  I have helped to create a school for obtaining wisdom, http://ww.onlinehumanities.com.  Please let me know what you think.

You're proving your wisdom daily.  Some people never elevate to a level that changes the world.  Some people will be here for 85-90 more years, yet never open their eyes.  They'll sleep through the whole experience.  You're not one of them!  I'm sooo glad you're you : )
