Knowledge vs. Wisdom

Often, I find myself in a position in which I realize I really know absolutely nothing about the topic. I feel intellectually empty. Some topics come easier to me, those that I am curious about and enjoy diving into. Topics like politics I always fall short, as I just don’t find it interesting and so it becomes much harder for me to become knowledgeable about.

Wisdom on the other hand, requires very little intellectual knowledge. It is rather something that comes to you, through life itself. You become aware of your own unconscious. You become whole, rather than viewing through your ego. Things become light and playful and the intellectual can be seen from a new perspective. An intellectual will keep riding deep into it, but you can see that they are on an infinite path. There is no end to intellectualizing. It will drive you mad until wisdom comes to put it into perspective.

Wisdom empties you out to fit into the clouds. You ride the wind in the night in great delight.
