wisdom can be helped along by a master or by spiritual readings... but when it come down to it, you must earn your wisom over time and threw experience. Epiphany is rare, but does happen. Come on Rurp... I refuse to get into this with a professor, as I am no expert. But I am also not an idiot.
you can read as many books as you want, but knowledge means verry little with out some kind of real persoanl trials and experiences.
life is for living
In the Tao Te Ching it says that a gifted student understands the way immediately and follows the way there after... a mediocare student struggles to understand, struggles to follow the way... and a fool never understands and doesn't know what he is missing.
