Whether its sages, soothsayers, naggas or oracles; wise people, or at least those that we refer to as having a general sense of wisdom, are quoted to say a whole list of things that often don’t make sense at first glance. Other times these things they say, these wise people, leave me questioning the very nature of wisdom.
Who spends an afternoon stalking a spider or following ants? Where do these people get the time to look at a wet wall and walk away with an insight? When I gaze into a freshly painted wall, all I walk away with is a slight dizziness. That’s it. No revelation of the earth’s wonders and absolutely no sign of an insight.
I was taught to believe that being idle is not wise. How much of a rush do you think one has to be in to follow an ant? None at all. So, what’s the rush?
And do you know that the reason why wise people have no friends is a direct result to the origin of their awe-inspiring anecdotes, statements and revelations? I confirm; wise people bite from their friends.
And that’s what makes them so wise.
Namaste
