Wisdom is one of the most important virtues as the knowledge of wisdom is linked to freedom and the ability to choose.
The concept of wisdom that is directly linked to being a cultured person, also shows the ability to make appropriate decisions in life. That is, wisdom not only shows the value of theoretical but also practical knowledge. Training is one of the most frequent means of knowledge through which a person is trained and informed in different subjects that allow them to have a general understanding of reality.
Love of reading
However, there are also other forms of wisdom that go beyond studies. Some people have not gone to university and yet they are very wise because they are great lovers of reading, this provides a wealth of vocabulary, increased reading comprehension and improves communication skills. In addition, the great lovers of reading also have knowledge about the great names that are part of the history of literature and what are their most outstanding works.
Today, many libraries make books available to patrons that they can borrow for free. Never as today were there so many knowledge resources available to people showing the value of universal access to culture.
Wisdom is also linked to the school of life, and this wisdom is inherent to the years but also to the attitude of those who have lived through time in a reflective way and have gone beyond their experiences to draw conclusions and learn.
Love of wisdom
Philosophy is the science that shows the love of wisdom, for this reason, the objective of this discipline is also to achieve wisdom. There is a great relationship between wisdom and happiness since the wise man knows himself better, has a clear ethical notion and practices coherence between thought, feeling and action.
In philosophy we can find clear exponents of wisdom. Socrates is one of them. Knowledge has no limit and we can always continue to delve into ideas.
