#Knowledge Vs Wisdom

[chthonic-pain]

absolutely insane how neurotypical people have built their whole society around this group mindset that autistic people are not included in, which means that you can't even question preexisting standards and notions without, at best, being othered, or at worst, people assuming you're advocating for heinous acts. like nah bitch, I'm just trying to understand things

[vilewilde]

On Failing To Ask The Proper Questions.

I am “borrowing” this from the FB page of a fellow funeral director, Raymond Aikens. It is a sound lesson about knowing the proper questions to ask. . . and not being as smart as you want to appear. So the new CEO decides it’s time to rid the company of slackers. On a tour of the facilities, he notices a guy leaning against a wall. The room was full of workers and seeing a chance to show he…

A literal alien: you're not smart if you don't know xyz

Me, galaxies away, waking up in a cold sweat: something is wrong

Many people claim to be self aware, but very few are able to do anything with that awareness. They hide behind their proclaimed knowledge as it if were enough, but it isn’t. Because they can list all their problems, but they can’t fix a single one.

When Wisdom Walks In

Life Lessons Learned There’s something quietly powerful about the opening line of Proverbs. It’s a phrase many have memorized, yet few pause to explore deeply: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7). At first glance, it may seem like Solomon is telling us to be afraid of God, but as with much of biblical wisdom, the truth goes far deeper than surface reading. Let’s…

ज्ञान अनुभवल्यावर अज्ञानापाशी परत जाणं अशक्यच.

सांगे कुमुददळाचेनि ताटें । जो जेविला चंद्रकिरणें चोखटें ।तो चकोरु काई वाळुवंटें । चुंबितु आहे ।। १०७ ।। ज्ञानेश्वरी अध्याय पांचवा ओवीचा अर्थ – सांग, कमळाच्या पाकळीच्या पात्रावर जो चकोर पक्षी शुद्ध चंद्रकिरणांचें भोजन करतो, तो वाळूचे कण चाटीत बसेल काय ? श्री ज्ञानेश्वर माऊलींनी इथे उपमांची गुंफण करत एक गूढ, परंतु गहिरी जाणीव देणारी गोष्ट सांगितली आहे – जीवाच्या अज्ञानातील भ्रमावस्थेची. 🌸 🌿…

Unlocking the Shadows: An Introduction to Plato’s Cave

Plato’s Cave Plato’s Cave is one of philosophy’s most iconic metaphors, offering a thought-provoking exploration of reality, perception, and knowledge. First introduced in his work The Republic, this allegory challenges us to question how we view the world and understand truth.

Intergenerational Dynamics

The relationship between the young and the old is a complex, multifaceted dynamic that evolves within societal, cultural, and familial contexts. It involves both tension and harmony, rooted in differences in experiences, perspectives, and roles. The relationship can be understood through various philosophical, sociological, and psychological lenses, emphasizing intergenerational exchange, wisdom and vitality, and the ways in which each generation contributes to the other’s growth.

Key Aspects of the Relationship Between the Young and the Old

Wisdom vs. Vitality:

Older generations are often seen as the bearers of wisdom, experience, and tradition. They pass down knowledge and life lessons to the younger generation, offering guidance and a sense of continuity with the past.

Younger generations, on the other hand, bring vitality, new energy, and fresh perspectives. They tend to challenge established norms, innovate, and drive societal progress. This interaction between the wisdom of the old and the creativity of the young fosters growth on both sides.

Transmission of Culture and Tradition:

The relationship between the young and the old is crucial for the preservation of culture, values, and traditions. Elders act as custodians of cultural heritage, ensuring that historical knowledge, customs, and moral values are passed down to the next generation.

At the same time, the younger generation may question, reinterpret, or reform these traditions, leading to cultural evolution. This dynamic can result in tension, particularly when younger individuals seek to break away from traditional values, but it also drives social transformation.

Mentorship and Guidance:

The old often serve as mentors to the young, offering support, wisdom, and advice during critical periods of life such as adolescence, career building, or parenthood. This mentorship is essential for the personal development of the young.

Through these relationships, older individuals often find purpose and fulfillment, contributing to the growth of younger individuals while staying engaged with new ideas and changes in society.

Generational Conflict and Reconciliation:

Historically, there is often tension between younger and older generations due to differences in values, priorities, and worldviews. Older generations may cling to stability and tradition, while younger generations may advocate for change and progress.

This generational conflict can be seen in various contexts, from the family unit to broader social movements. However, the reconciliation of these differences can lead to mutual understanding and the blending of innovation with tradition.

Dependence and Role Reversal:

In early life, younger generations are often dependent on older ones for nurturing, education, and care. This dependence shifts over time as young people grow into adulthood and older individuals age, sometimes requiring care from the younger generation.

This role reversal in caregiving, particularly in familial settings, can reshape the relationship between young and old, emphasizing the cyclical nature of life and interdependence.

Intergenerational Learning:

The exchange between the young and the old involves reciprocal learning. While the older generation imparts traditional knowledge and wisdom, the younger generation can introduce new ideas, technologies, and ways of thinking.

This mutual learning can foster innovation and adaptation, as the older generation benefits from the creativity and adaptability of youth, while the younger generation learns from the accumulated knowledge and experience of elders.

Perception of Time and Mortality:

Older individuals often have a more reflective relationship with time and mortality, contemplating the legacy they will leave behind and the passage of life. This can lead to a desire to impart wisdom and ensure that their experiences contribute to the future.

Younger individuals tend to have a more forward-looking, ambitious perspective, with a focus on the future and a sense of invincibility. The awareness of mortality tends to develop more deeply over time, and the relationship with older generations can bring this reality into focus for younger people.

Social Change and Continuity:

Generational relationships are essential to the process of social change. While older generations provide continuity, holding onto the lessons and experiences of the past, younger generations are often the drivers of innovation and change.

The interplay between preserving traditions and introducing new ways of thinking is crucial for the healthy development of societies. The challenge is in finding a balance that honors the wisdom of the past while embracing the potential of the future.

The relationship between the young and the old is a dynamic interplay of wisdom, energy, tradition, and change. It is marked by mutual dependence, with each generation playing a crucial role in shaping the other’s development. While generational conflict can arise due to differences in worldview, this tension is also a source of growth, allowing society to progress while remaining rooted in historical knowledge and cultural continuity.

Knowledge is knowing Istanbul was Constantinople.

Wisdom is understanding that if you had a date in Constantinople, she's waiting in Istanbul.

Philosophy is pondering why they changed it.
