RE: Knowing, Yet Not Really 'Knowing' - Internal and External Wisdom

in #philosophy7 years ago

I have heard that their is a connection to the growth of the brain and wisdom. At some point as an adult the brain is 'ready' to understand and grows wisdom. At about 48 I noted I was starting to gain this wisdom factor. I could not have had it at 42 or 36 even if I tried. I was not ready. My brain was not ready. It is different ages for different people from what I see. Don''t know if there is any science on this, however it is my understanding. Good article. Thanks for the wisdom today. - Troy

I don't there is truth to that. Wisdom is psychological. Psychological development occurs with age of course, as a 1 year old isn't as experienced with the world or themselves. But you don't need to be 30, 40 or 50 to gain wisdom of what is right to do ;) It's base don information from our environment that allows us to learn. Reality teaches, but are we paying attention or looking to learn actively? Time is required. Put in the time early and you can become wiser earlier.

Thanks for explaining it that way. It makes more sense. I must have been a late bloomer LOL - Troy
