Wisdom
When we say wisdom, people will usually look out for Gods or holy books. Most religions believe that there is a God or Gods of wisdom, and wisdom come from them. Some usually give reference to spiritual examples of wise people. The most popular being Solomon from the Bible (the Christians’ holy book), though his not the only one.
What exactly is wisdom?
This can be hard to define, especially as people can’t differentiate it from intelligence. One person can be both intelligent and wise, one person might be intelligent but not wise, and vice versa. Though the last one is very rare as most wise people are intelligent, as you need somewhere to start up from.
It has been defined as the ability to contemplate and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense and insight by Wikipedia.
It’s also known as sapience, or sagacity.
Generally, it is the ability to predict and figure out the best way to do something.
Knowledge
This one is the easiest term to define. It’s just what you know.
It must be acquired and can be greatly increased, also it can be easily lost with time.
Why is this?
This is because you can’t know something without seeing, or touching, or smelling, or using any other sense the body has been endowed with.
It can be greatly increased because you get to learn new things almost everyday.
It can be easily lost because the more time you spend not doing something, the more you lose the knowledge about that thing. Though this doesn’t apply for all forms of knowledge. Things you must do everyday, things you are born to naturally learn, people you know, and so on can’t be lost, or at least entirely. But acquirable knowledge like the ones you earn by reading can be easily lost. But it isn’t actually lost but forgotten for the time it isn’t needed.
