Comes With Wisdom: a persuasive essay Wisdom is so often thought as a gift that many people overlook how it can also be a curse. Teiresias‚ a character in Oedipus Rex by Sophocles‚ is an Oracle that is miserable with the wisdom he holds. Oedipus‚ the king of Thebes‚ solves the riddle of the Sphinx to obtain the throne. Now the king is trying to find out who is responsible for the plague. However‚ Teiresias knows that Oedipus is searching for himself. Teiresias believes that his wisdom does not profit

Knowledge and Wisdom Knowledge - and wisdom. Sometimes we have all we need of one‚ but not enough of the other. And often‚ too often‚ we don’t know the difference. Often‚ too often‚ we mistake knowledge‚ the accumulation of facts‚ for wisdom‚ the ability to make the right choices in life. To succeed as individuals‚ and as a nation‚ we need to know how to put what we know to proper use. Perhaps this is why our system of education so often fails. Children are fed facts‚ lots of facts‚ without

Socratic Wisdom In the Apology‚ the oracle at Delphi stated that Socrates was the wisest man of his time (Plato 21a). Socrates‚ however‚ “[was] very conscious that [he was] not wise at all”‚ which would not make him the wisest man of his time (21b). Certainly‚ not both the oracle and Socrates could be simultaneously correct in their individual beliefs; thus‚ the oracle and Socrates must have had differing definitions of wisdom. What‚ then‚ is wisdom? Many people believe wisdom denotes having

What is wisdom? I would like to start with a quote of Socrates in which he says: „True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life‚ ourselves‚ and the world around us. „ I think wisdom is learning through experience. Like when we love someone and realize he or she is not what we wanted‚ not what we exceptet we learn what we don’t want‚ eventhough we still might not know what we want. I think all of our wisdom consists of things we know that are not good for

“A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE” Proverbs have been well defined thus “short sentences found on long experience”. They are brief yet striking form of wisdom which can be anonymous or created by famous people.
