Wisdom is the taste for ultimate truth, I suppose and I’d have another definition for it. Wisdom is just simply the quality of resilience after making mistakes. Any real human life is full of mistakes and the more mistakes the better because with more mistakes we learn. The longer we live, the more mistakes we make, and if we’ve got half a brain, we eventually begin to learn something from those mistakes. What I would see as one grows in age, the number of one’s mistakes increases, thereby you learn from one’s own experience what works, what is good, what is true, what is beautiful. That’s what wisdom is.
