Wisdom vs Intelligence 3/4

Intelligence and Wisdom
Two stand-alone entities
that revolve around what is
‘right’ and ‘wrong.’

To be intelligent
is to answer questions of logic:
What is 7 times 7?
What is Raskolnikov’s enemy?
What is natural selection?
To know is intelligence.
To not know is idiocy.

To be wise
is to discern the choices in life
and choose what is best.
What is easiest?
What is hurtful?
What should I do?
To discern is wisdom.
To not discern is ignorance.

Idiocy is failure.
Ignorance is death.
