i think that is accurate.  basically because wisdom comes from within. its not something thats confirmed externally.. pretty much anything external is going to be relative, including wisdom.  so i mean wisdom is self determined 
for example, if you have three dudes discussing the nature of experience, then you will give "level of wiseness" labels to the three individuals based on how they relate/compare with each other(these are the only 3 humans in existence).  so wisedom cannot be absolutely determined externally as a fact. each seperate individual will determine, for himself, the degree of wisdom of himself and the two others based on relativity, sometimes we're accurate with our comparisons and other times we're not.  but the truth of the matter is that there is no absolutic "truth" within the individual, its just a matter of him relating experiences and coming to false conclusions every. single. time. but we need to come to these conclusions in order to navigate our individual consiousnesses. that is the core of being seperated from oneness and being a human and having this individual consious experience.  Relativity is what allows this experience to be possible.  if you dont have any relativity or relationship you dont have seperation.  i would call this rant wise
