...in spite of all that.

I've read a shit load of philosophy, studied religions around the world, read the words of many wise men and women. And I really don't know if it has helped me one bit. Wisdom seems to come in spite of all that.

When the light comes on, you realize that all your life you never understood what the wise ones were saying. Now that you finally understand them, you have nothing at all to learn.

Meanwhile, the ignorant are reading the wise ones and thinking they understand it all perfectly...

:lol: And Einstein never went to school and never studied.

You think he would have called himself wise?

I think the reason why you like Nikolai's words is that they excuse you from educating yourself about philosophy and its thoughts.

Perspective comes from experience and wisdom comes from perspective.
