Juan exactly
Wisdom is the combination of intellect plus experience/common sense.
Not that I have any of it - only know what is lacking hehe...

My intellect and wisdom fall to their lowest levels overnight. They increase upon rising after a cup of coffee or two to the point where I can be allowed out on the street by myself.
Hahah Juan
I still forget where I parked my car!
I got a newer one a few months back but a different color.
Yup - I reached the tears point ten minutes after looking for the wrong one.
Am thinking of tying a bright flower to the bumper which will float above all the other vehicles!
At least you are allowed to roam free! That's a step up my man.

That is funny. A month ago the Dollar Store was selling little plastic Canadian flags that you fit in one of the back windows and buzz the window up to hold it in place. We thought we were pretty clever because the flag sticks up over a foot above the roof of the car and we could pick out our car from a distance. We looked very patriotic but the big thing was that we could find our damn car. Then the Olympics came along and there were dozens of these damn flags in every parking lot. We've had to revert back to using the remote thingy to beep the horn. Progress?...;-):smile:
Is there a difference between being politically correct and having alot of wisdom? Can they be confused?
I think more wisdom has been shown by being politically incorrect than being politically correct. At times it's better just to say it the way it is..........:smile:
What a neat idea - They could use something like that down here - all the parking places are jammed on a weekend especially the beach communities.
Ahem - there is a remote horn beeper? I just learned where the dang horn was on the steering wheel and scared my sister in law when she was walking past the front woops...(I honestly didn't know where it was - it's nearly invisible with a graphic horn instead of spelled out - I miss things being easy).... I'm still learning all the arrow thingys on the key tag - and scare myself when I open the trunk instead of the door - the trunk sounds like an earthquake opening....
Well I'm gonna try the remote today..... I hope I don't set anyone else's off hahaha
Good question about politically correct and wisdom. I think it's a tough one to use all of one's intellect because politics involve a great deal of emotional input and bias too - and it's a tough struggle to remain purely responsible or knowledgable to reality or facts.
It often takes no small amount of wisdom to know what is politically correct, and when to be politically correct.
I know people with all kinds of knowledge that have very little wisdom. My feeling is that wisdom is a mixture of intelligence, knowledge, patience, humility & open mindedness.
I think that intelligence, mixed with knowledge, which has bloomed into wisdom is
just learning how to remove the 'emotion' which gets in the
way, early on.

I have the AAA Road Atlas here that I thought made me pretty street wise.........:lol::lol::lol:
Yep, emotion screws up a lot of people and generally works in the opposite direction of wisdom. That's how these car salesmen get so rich and why when you are buying a car they like you to bring the "little woman" along.
