Swamped by knowledge, missing in wisdom?

We all are swimming in the ocean of knowledge. At least all of us, here on the Internet. Everything that we want to know and learn is just one click or search away. But that knowledge may or may not be useful to us. Something that works for someone, may not work for you, because you have your own personality. You may not like that method, it might not suit you in different ways – conditionally, intellectually , emotionally, socially etc. It might take many trials and errors before you distill down those ‘grapes’ of knowledge into the ‘wine’ of wisdom.

Merely knowing something is not enough in life. You may read a lot about oceans, but to actually jump into an ocean can give you a different understanding of the natural wonder that an ocean is.

Any fool can know. The point is to understand.
– Albert Einstein

The process of converting this knowledge into wisdom is causing endless struggles into each one of our lives! But that is how it has always been. Growth is always gradual, accompanied by struggles!

There is Google for knowledge these days, hence whatever you are seeking – appears in an instant. But there is no Google for wisdom. As of yet, that is!

The saddest aspect of life now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. —Isaac Asimov
