Wisdom?
Thoughts are a part of our everyday existence: without thought could we achieve wisdom? As I had stated in an earlier essay, ‘Wisdom is the thought and experiences of every man, woman and child.’ Also, I believe wisdom to be knowledge righteously applied. Through thought we encourage self-formulated answers, or imagination, an element that can externalize the soul. I may find the answers to universal questions if my own brain participates in the creation of the circle in which I might find it. The key to every person’s wisdom is in his or her thought process. I still believe in the quest for wisdom to be derived through our thoughts and life’s encounters.

I enjoyed all the reading assignments and have broadened my way of thinking and in that broadening I can not find one view that was the least reasonable to me. I was mostly impressed with Victor Frankl, but I can identify with all the views presented. In conclusion I would like to include some of my favorite quotes and passages. “Pain makes man think, thought makes man wise,” and this next one I use a lot to friends who can not seem to get over themselves, ‘If you do has you have always done, you will get what you have always had.’ My mother who has just recently passed away wrote a passage I would like to end with, “Happiness is increasing my own person inter-growth – improvement, progress, spiritual, intellectual and physical, and sharing it with others to enrich their lives. May I never stop; if I do, I am in jeopardy.” oor opened. Frankl helped me change my views in broadening my ideas about thought and what to do with those thoughts.
