A big part of wisdom in my view is knowing how much is unknowable, accepting that and then using all the tools at your disposal to follow a path with heart taking responsibility for every choice you make.

Another thing that's big for me is realizing that you are the creater of your experience, and you don't try to make anyone else responsible for how you feel and act.

Another is the realization that we are all one at core and the Tao rules.

its hard to say because I don't know waht the question is.

we talkin about being wise or wisdom?

i'm gonna assume taht they are one and the same for now.

bad mistake assuming somthing you know nothing about.

but i'm going to answer the question I know nothing about with
a question.

Who cares?

waht do I give a rats ass about something that doesn't exist

except in somebodies minds eye of how they think something should be?

A person becomes wise through penetrating the illusory nature of this world. Knowledge of how all appearances function in relation to naturalness is the wisdom that directly perceives the emptiness of all phenomena. All of life's experiences are dreamlike illusions of our own making, we are like wizards who after creating an illusion, forgot that we created it. Recognizing this one fact, and truly taking it to heart, is to disarm our greatest enemy on the path toward awakening.

"It is your mind, that creates this world" - Buddha

Wisdom is kind of self awareness combined with the ability to get over the kind of pride that makes us acy stupid and ignorant. Wisdom to me is more like a state of mind rather than what is called intelligenge. Someone can be quite intelligent but still act like a dumb ass.

All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs
