    If so, why?

    Also, don't forget to add how old are you. I ask this because I've met octogenarians who were folly and ignorant, but I've also met smart, young (so to speak) wise people.

    :wave:

    Hm... let's see...

    I am wise when it comes to solving younger people's problems, but I'm not so wise when it comes to solving my own.

    wisdom has been said to be knowing others....
    most people i can see right thru.....

    this has always been the case.....
    since i was very young



    my decisions....not always so very wise at all.....
    yet ...when i make those unwise decisions....
    i usually know that is exactly what i am doing....
    know what the right choice is....and still make another....


    would i say i am wise?
    i would have to answer that it all depends on when you ask;):smoke:

    Sure I am wise. Why? Because I like to think good things about myself. :)

    I don't know if that is you being wise, but it is definitely you being fearless.

    All people like to think nice things about themselves. Asking someone if they are wise is a trick question anyway. :p

    Yup, the more you know, the more questions that open up, and some people can recognize this. But most don't, they think they have everything figured out, when in reality, they are hiding behind their fantasies.
