Wisdom Calling Out!

As we live in a time unprecedented, in the time known as the 21st century, known for the jet speed of things and the abundance of information (try using Google), you cannot but agree that in these times, the cry of Wisdom has become the loudest, most obvious and most needed. Marriages are failing, businesses are closing down, people are complaining about unemployment. This cannot go beyond coming to understand that though knowledge abounds, wisdom is scarce.
Wisdom can be said to be the right practice or application of knowledge. And this is what is lacking today. There is so much knowledge everywhere: on the internet, in the library, in bookstores, from the university, in seminars and conferences, in the Holy Books etc. but in reality, there seems to be so much ignorance. Very few people make a success out of their lives. So what exactly is the problem? I would say people are not putting into action the things they learn from all these sources of knowledge. If the man that has read several books on marriage and attended countless seminars on the topic will only practice truly loving his wife for who she is then the world would have become a better plsce for both of them or the employee that after attending the training on becoming a better employee, would put just a little more effort at his job, then the organization he works for would be glad he did. He gets promoted and everyone is happy creating a win-win situation.
The bottom line here is that it’s great to read a book, attend a seminar and listen to a audio material but what really matters is putting into practice knowledge acquired. This is the best form of living few attain and it isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it. So even as you learn and relearn, most importantly APPLY.
