Defining Wisdom 2
Another way of defining wisdom is that it is the ability to sort out what is important in any given moment, and to thus perceive the truth of what living well in that moment requires.Wisdom is thus an actionable recognition of truth.What I like about that definition is that it points towards wisdom as being something that possesses, instead of a static set of informational truth, a skill of discerning.
