Sunday 5th September: TWENTY THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Minimize
 

 

What is Wisdom? What makes someone wise? In the world of Hollywood a wise-guy is a member of the Mafia, elsewhere in the US it is slang for a smart-aleck! 
 
That, I suppose, is an example of using a word against itself for effect, gangsters and people who makes nasty cracks are not usually repositories of Wisdom! So, what is Wisdom? Why is being clever not being wise? Why do intelligence or education or social position not bring Wisdom. Why is it not simply Common Sense? Is it all of these things together or none of them?  And what exactly does Wisdom do? Will it lead to success? Will it bring happiness? Will it… I could go on but I think I’ve made my point.
