    Alright, Phoenix, thanks. My mistake. :)

    And, Ferret, that's kinda what I said. And the similarity I was pointing at is how experience and wisdom often get confused, just like intelligence and wisdom.

    I definitely agree with ya there Xento. I am a firm believer in respect you're elders, but I have met people that have seemingly gone through life without getting ANY wiser (or any more intelligent either). I don't really understand how they do it.

    The fool thinks himself a wise man. The wise man knows he's a fool. :D :p

    Wisdom is relative. Everyone has wisdom, just different fields of it. Of course, some might not use it. Personally, I think using wisdom is impractical and too bothersome, not to mention tiring. :D :p :razz:

    OK, just ignore that. :lol: :roll:

    "a person that knows he is a fool is not a fool" Some asian guy said long ago, don't remember where or who it was that said it.

    This is a foolish argument. I guess that makes me the wise one, here. Yet now that I've pointed it out and joined in the discussion, I'm just another fool. But a WISE one. You see the foolishness, yet??

    I think that just means you're not really that foolish to not know your own weaknessess.

    Oh, I can see the foolishness all right. You DO realise you can't have a wise fool don't you? Wise and foolish are counterstatements (you like those don't you?) since they mean the opposite thing. A wise man has high wisdom. A fool has low wisdom. You can have an intelligent fool - someone who understands things but acts rashly, or you can have a thick as shit wise person, who knows alot about what they know, but don't know a lot about anything.

    However, you CANNOT have a wise fool. :razz:

    The Master said: "To know what we know, and to know what we do not know, that is understanding."

    Dare you contradict the Master!? I suppose not, since he didn't even MENTION wisdom. Ha.

    Sorry, for some reason I thought that you posted it because it was relevant to the discussion at hand. However, if you were just spouting random sayings for no reason then I won't hold it against you. :p

    I think it means knowledge "To know what is fact and what is just a theory. Therefore accepting fact for the truth and not a theory that hasn't been proven." :lol:

    I thought it meant that you know the limitations in your knowledge. so that you know that you don't know everything, and take that into account when you make your choices.
