You gotta know when to hold 'em...

know when to fold em

>>8778854
The ability to handle the struggles of life with minimal effort and emotional distress.

It usually boils down to a mindset that enables you to handle unexpected circumstances and knowledge which enables you to handle predictable eventualities.

If you are able to share and teach the above with other people, then you might be perceived as wise.

>Boils down

Grow old.

You can't force wisdom. You should try cultivating knowledge and intelligence instead. Wisdom will then come naturally the more things you experience through time.

know when to walk away

Intellectual humility. Ability to accept changes to your mindset yet be able to hold a solid foundation throughout your life.

>>8778854
knowledge is gained by learning new things, wisdom is gained by making mistakes.

>>8778854
"And I tell you this my sons. I am a man who has experience.
This experience has granted me wisdom. The first method of learning is that of experience.
It is the most bitter form of learning.

The second method is that of copying someone in immediacy, while fast it is also temporary and easily forgot.

The last and most noble is that of dedicated study. To humble oneself before the books of the learned master and extract the knowledge held within. To gain experience without the fight."

-Paraphrased from Confucius.

Combined with;

"Ya only need a teaspoon of shit to know what it tastes like."

and

"In science, less is more."

You get a pretty solid base for understanding the world around you.

Also from Jewish Kabbalah:
"The micro reflects the macro."

The old masters are hidden in every era. They spend their times in the mountains, in their prayers, in their study/observatory.

Intelligence is figuring out how meaningless everything is.
Wisdom is carrying on despite of it.

In its meaningless to find meaning is the true power of the European Wizards.
