Are we getting smarter and smarter? Perhaps we are since our knowledge—probably certain not certainly certain—grows exponentially, but still the knowledge, that we have amassed, pales in comparison to the infinite amount of knowledge to be had and discovered out there and inside.
Therefore, we may not be getting smarter and smarter, but are just knowing more.
And knowledge and wisdom are not the same. One requires knowledge to flesh out wisdom, to provide it with content, But to be wise is to know what to think, what to treasure and how to proceed in the world.
The wise are those judicious sages that take knowledge and know how to apply it. Their keen judgment has been informed by love, goodness, and divine revelation.
