Wisdom comes only after many sacrifices. The real world does not exist; there are interpretations of it. He who sees the world with the eye of wisdom sees far beyond what the eye can reach. With the eye of wisdom, we see the lines of source code that form the matrix of our world. Wisdom is attention based on deep life experience: it neither judges nor condemns, while participating in events. In wisdom, we do not consider only one perspective - we observe the resulting totality, linked to self-knowledge. Is there an easy and a hard way to achieve wisdom? If wisdom were an easily attainable goal, would everyone want to achieve it...? And knowledge does not equal wisdom. Intelligent people who are self-taught, always curious, could understand humanity. They could know their strengths and weaknesses. After all, they could talk about the great losses and the humility of every small victory. The wisest among us are probably so silent that it is impossible to hear them. I present to you quotes and thoughts from the great sages of humanity. Enjoy the reading.
