weird, confusing and rambling

What do I know about wisdom? It is one of the best and worst things a person can have. It seems elusive, yet its reality is quite straightforward. It is objective and simple, but requires much thought and time to acquire (and you never really know if you’ve acquired anything). Often it will change you, make you solve difficult problems, push you to doubt, scare you, strengthen you, confuse you. Wisdom holds the sureness of logic and the freedom of philosophy. It is lies and truth. It can just as easily trap you as ensure you liberty. Wisdom is quite dangerous, but offers much safety.

These things I know – kind of. Maybe it is safer for me to say these are things I think I know. But there are also things I don’t know. I don’t know why or how wisdom exists or why I want it so much or even how to recognize it sometimes. And I am vaguely ok with never having answers to those things. However, it’s probably better for me to at least investigatively wonder than to sleep in vagueness.

So I’m waking up. The TC will now, for the time being, offer many a wondering installment about wisdom. This, my friends, is just the introduction. The first installment (coming soon) will be about limitations. So that should be great. I wholeheartedly promise it, and all following entries, will be weird and confusing and rambling. But if they weren’t, there would be no place for them here.


Wake Up!
