wisdom

I was always taught that wisdom is the application of knowledge. So in order to be wise, one must have adequate knowledge, and I think that acquiring knowledge is an act of wisdom. I think in college we acquire both knowledge and wisdom. We obviously acquire knowledge because we have to learn the material. I think we also acquire wisdom when we write about the things we learn. I think the majority of students act in a way that shows they apply the knowledge they receive. I think you can see this when you look at students that act wiser and more mature in their later years of college and after they graduate. I think the information age has made us wiser because we are forced to rely less on old-wives tales and more on scientific studies and general consensus that is more accurately true. I think if we use this correctly it is certainly capable of giving us the power to live more fulfilling and rewarding lives, and possibly even become wiser.
