a tweet I made about wisdom, love, and intelligence

[roger]

"Wisdom comes from LOVE, not 'intelligence'. There have been many 'intelligent' people who have done great evil."

 

 

There's a book called "Why Smart People Do Stupid Things".

 

 

Well, I haven't read the book. But I can tell you that the reason is because being smart has almost nothing to do with being wise.

 

 

Maybe the common definition of intelligence is inaccurate.

 

 

J. Krishnamurti said, "The only intelligence is the intelligence of compassion."

 

 

As Forest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does."

[Marblehead]

Fair proposition Roger.  I generally associate wisdom with knowledge, not intelligence.  For me there is a difference.  I don't talk much about love but I do talk about compassion (one of The Three Treasures) on occasion.

wiki says

 

Wisdom or sapience is the ability to think and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight
