bulletproof Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 You would have to be a little more specific. What is it you think you're expected to know? Link to comment
mammadon Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 I want to know the basic wisdom of life. Link to comment

Jetta Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 The wisdom of life is that it's a journey you are evolving and learning as you go. It's true some people are wiser than others at any age, and well some of that knowledge gained is related to experiences, others just from an inner knowing. It's a gift as with anything.

PonytailFairy Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I want to know the basic wisdom of life. It is balance. Link to comment
mammadon Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 what is balance? Accept my right to normal knowledge and get on with your own life. Link to comment
gabriella777 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I want to know the basic wisdom of life. There is no such thing. In my opinion anyway. There's no basic wisdom. You can guess what the whatever "wisdom" is that you're talking about, but there is no such thing. You just live your life the way you want to and go after the things you want to. On a sidenote, I've always had a soft spot for Taoism. link removed That's the first thing I thought when you said the "basic wisdom of life". But after studying philosophy, I guess I have to say I'm even more confused about life in general. Link to comment

gabriella777 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I don't really believe you. What don't you believe? That there is no "basic wisdom"? To be honest, I'm struggling to understand exactly what you mean. Link to comment
mammadon Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 I think you're just trying to divert me. I'm wise to it, and I won't let it work. Link to comment

PonytailFairy Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Is this PC society that says this, or is this truth? The truth of course. If you think of this deeper you can see it Shame is something what is taughed by different kind of authors and leaders in our society to controll our actions. Think about school and how things goes with students. Or those schools which are "behind" time and also teachers uses shame as a method to controll students. There is no shame, that is bluff.

Batya33 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 My advice - spend some time with a small child. Things I have learned from doing just that especially for the last few years: It's good to see how different things feel and react differently in different settings -for example the way a leaf feels when it's rubbed against another leaf as opposed to against a rock. It's good to know what you don't know -so for example if you encounter an object that doesn't seem to belong in the environment you are in and you are puzzled don't be afraid to ask someone who might have superior knowledge. Keep an open mind and be ready for surprises - for example (from a child's perspective) if you push a button and it lights up it doesn't mean that if you push the button next to it it also will light up -and if it doesn't there might be more than one reason why it didn't work the same way. Don't forget to try things in a new way- the world looks different if you run than if you walk, if you walk backwards, if you walk looking at your toes v. looing up at the ceiling. Just some basic wisdom I've picked up/been reminded of. Link to comment

I disagree, I don't see how emotions can be inculcated. Link to comment
gabriella777 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I disagree, I don't see how emotions can be inculcated. Of course emotions can be inculcated. If someone says to a child "You should be ashamed of your behaviour", chances are the child will feel ashamed. If the child hears that enough, he/she will believe it and start feeling that way. Feelings, thoughts, behaviours are all learned from the time you're born by your parents, environment etc. Link to comment
