We seek knowledge About the visible, the observable and the provable. We get knowledge Through logic, deduction and experimentation. We obtain knowledge From intuition, inference and beliefs. We attain knowledge From history, geography and mathematics. Science and technology plays its part. Religion and philosophy does its part. All these kinds of knowledge are inadequate To steer the life in the troubled pool. ‘To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, remove things everyday.’ Said Leo Tzy True knowledge expands By reflection. observation and introspection. ‘Compassion, frugality and humility Are the essence of knowledge.’ Advocates Taoism. Inner wisdom comes to one From doing something significant, Showing compassion where needed And mustering courage when called for. Wisdom will not stop things occurring But will tell how to respond to it. 18.05.2017
