I must say the thoughts and opinions that where stated in the essay where intellectual but slightly vague. What I mean by vague is that even thought they where well thought out reasons and coverd a lot of what is known by others it has yet to explain that all people are different. Yes I understand your point of view and what u mean when you say that people are eather smart or wise. We'll first off how can score and rate an intelligence level? There can be various types of intelligence! Although I could go more into detail on the subject I will not, but what I should make clear is that intelligence is indeed like working a muscle it must used in order to grow. But at the same time there is so much we have yet to learn about many many many things we have yet to master the potential knowledge that is out there!! I mean someone can study for years and will make them smart but yet are lacking the all around meaning of what we are really all about. Someone can study the earth but kno nothing of its people or someone could study the ocean but know nothing of what is hidden in the darkness. Someone could kno the history of the past world but kno nothing of how people truly lived. And most of all people could want to understand everything but can not contemplate nothingness. We can study our intire live and stengthin our mind and still kno only a limited amount. When I say there is more to learn as there is stars in the sky that is not to be taken lightly because we could kno everything about where we are but don't see all the other possibilities the infinite has to offer. One thing I think about intelligence is that it can not be measured because its not just about what u learned but also if you are able to teach. To share what u can so that someone else has the knowledge that you gained with them so they can continue to learn more. I think a smart person know that they kno more then some in some ways but lack what another person know I think intelligence is sharing and working together because the potential that more then one person has is great!! As for wisdom it is gaining the optimism of not only the past but of what is to come and acting on it. Wisdom is much more then doing the right thing and having the answers to unknown questions its having not only intelligence but the capabilitie to understand more then just what is seen. It is looking at every aspect and doing what is best knowing that you could be wrong and learning from it if u are. Its taken what you kno with the thoughts of others and connecting them. To be wise is a rare thing indeed and involves much more then just a worldly opinion but also the other half of it the mystery of not only our whole universe but what lies beyond it. Although there is soooo much more to be said on this subject I will leave the rest for you to think about I mean that is the point of these discussions to stimulate the mind? :) To start off I began to read your essay about intelligence and wisdom.

They would have been great to print out and read on the train. Could well be worth a bookmark to come back to later, great find - thanks for the tip :) These articles make me wish I still had a commute.

If you are able to make it through, it's really worth the investment. Yeah, I know what you mean, maybe try printing out a copy if you can?

I wish I could discuss it in more detail with you, but I just couldn't seem to finish them. Generally I prefer things that I read on the web to be short and to the point. I find with longer topics, I need them to be in printed form, so I can find some place comfortable to read them. Instead of staring at them on a monitor.
