Why the hate for wisdom?

[upensmoke]

I saw a post on the forum that cyan went to that i feel belongs in this thread as well and may help with the discussion. To the original topic "why the hate for wisdom" I personally believe the problem comes from confusion on what wisdom is. Human language is flawed and we cant always put are thoughts and feelings into a set a words that allow every one to understand what we want to convey. Every single one of us has our own definition of wisdom and i believe that is what leads to most of the disagreement. here is the link and the post

I don't agree with all 15 but if two people have to different ideas of what wisdom is I think it would be very difficult to have any discussion on "why the hate for wisdom." I have enjoyed this thread very much and feel thankful to everyone for the time they put into it.
