Intelligence And Wisdom

Which do we follow?
Which do we value?

Intelligence is the ability to acquire, process, and apply knowledge.
Wisdom is the deeper, patient application of experience, empath, and sound judgment to understand the broader, often paradoxical nature of life

Intelligence focuses on how to do something, and provides the tools to solve a problem.
Wisdom determines if it is worth doing, and whether that solution is ethical or meaningful.

Intelligence involves logical reasoning, academic learning and ‘book smart’.
Wisdom involves perspective, intuition, common sense, and an understanding of human nature.

Intelligence is often measured by tests and acquired through study.
Wisdom is gained through experience, reflection, and life lessons.

We need both.
In meditation, you find them both.
