Shin'Ar said : If you are asking my understanding, there cannot be wisdom without love, because wisdom is only manifest in the realization that we are not individuals, and when we realize that, we begin to love our humanity.
Zen replied - That seems to be a tautology. I mean from the perspective of love, that is what wisdom might seem to be, but from the perspective of wisdom, what then is love? It's obviously not adequately addressed in the tiny (yet important) realization of some ontological relationship (regarding individual vs collective identity).
Shin'Ar replied- From the perspective of love wisdom arises.
From the perspective of wisdom, it could not have arisen without love.
And I think that what I just posted above does adequately address the realtionship between the two.
