Knowledge and wisdom
We know that for a plant to grow, it needs many things like good soil, water, sunlight....... Like that for a person to be mentally grown, he should know about everything. But this knowledge should be in the right way. Knowledge in its right manner does not leads to any problems. A sword can be used to make injuries and it can be used for other useful purposes. Knowledge is also like that. Right knowledge leads one to a happy and better life.
A candle which is covered with an opaque material does not have any purpose. For a candle to be fully useful, it should provide its light for a clear vision. Knowledge which is used to give others a helpful hand makes a lot of difference. Knowledge can make drastic changes in our life, but only if it is used in the right manner.
What is the difference between knowledge and wisdom?...... Let me give an example, there are two types of people who carry guns.One is the cops who are using these arms to protect the people and the law and the other is the people who use this arms to kill and injure others. What is the difference between both of them? Both of them are using the same weapon but for two distinct purposes. "Therefore it doesn't matters what you have but it really matters that how you use it". Let me come to the point. Knowledge is the tool almost like a weapon which can be used both for making good changes in the world and for making disasters in the world.
Then what is Wisdom? The difference between the police and criminals who use guns can be stated as Wisdom.Wisdom enables us to use the acquired knowledge in its right way . So wisdom is more important than knowledge. When you acquire knowledge you acquire power but acquiring Wisdom is like using that power we generated to make a lot of good differences in the world.
Growth of a plant depends upon soil that it grows. As like that the formation of a person's mind depends very much on the knowledge he gets, the problems He face.... Wisdom is not something which is given to a person but he acquires it in his lifetime. The situations which he faces contributes a huge change in his character.
A man acquires wisdom from the person he meets, the places he go, the book he reads, the words he hear, the situations he face.... our life is a journey in which we are chasing Wisdom.The experiences in our life teaches us a lot. Let me make clear... A person's character formation is happened during all his lifetime. Family, school and society are the sources of Wisdom
A person is born from a child. Every person without Wisdom is like a child. In my opinion people who opt for suicide and other crimes are just like children who lack wisdom. Maturity and wisdom are related. A person becomes mature when he gets wisdom.
Let us together try to achieve Wisdom and also help others to achieve it.
Knowledge is a tool, but wisdom enables you to use that tool in the right manner.
