What is wisdom. The better question is how do you brand wisdom.
=======
It is a curious form of ideal.
=======
The world we live in has not made up the ultimate answer to this question: 'What is the meaning of life.'
=======
Make no mistake, wisdom is an ideal that creates this into a form of an anomaly. My own belief in wisdom is an existential one. Therefore, my mistaking what wisdom is on the surface of life's greatest unknown variable. Wisdom, virtually has no place in history from which to govern our most intimate of understanding.
=======
Perhaps - perhaps this is what is lacking in our everyday manner of a life well lived. Is wisdom really the archetype for survival, a lot of what we consider as our immediate survival is how we inform our understanding of ourselves in the world.
=======
So let me apply this same question to mean something as an anti-thesis into theoretical wisdom, or on terms of reverse-psychology, so that the question remains simple. How does wisdom brand you?
=======
Some would conceive this notion as an absurd attempt at reason, or at the very least establish, within reason, something that sounds remotely plausible in ordination.
=======
However, I am not here talking about how rational thinking somehow informs your ideas, or that the basis of instruction is a friendlier version of gods trust in you.
=======
What I am proposing is the reverse psychology in its approximation is. . . abstract. Purely abstract, hypothetical and abductive [logic].
=======
Why pretend we live in a world, without it being 1- a permanent vacation spot where 2- we have invented history on some level of 'survival' 3- which we have recorded as stone carvers.
=======
That the three step process is (a) what is wisdom (b) how do you brand wisdom (c) how does wisdom brand you?
=======
As I mentioned already, I think of wisdom as a theoretical device, in its opposition - what I come back to 'the idea' of what is rational. Some would mistake language as the cause of knowledge, all of it in fact. I would substitute that with a barbituate element (i.e. psychological nature) rather than traditionally - knowledge requires factual evidence, either tangible or conduit to a particular thing.
=======
"Any preoccupation with ideas of what is right and wrong in conduct shows an arrested intellectual development." -- Oscar Wilde
========
Socrates would have agreed with me, that self-knowledge is wisdom. My proposition is instilled in that belief, however, I also ask - how does that wisdom become self-knowledge. "I think therefore I am." - to me can appear as an inanity. I think that true skill comes in the art of abstraction, to a point that wisdom becomes a model in and of itself. What this implies is the question of awareness, sophisticated or infantile is no matter they are one in the same instance. People prefer to look at wisdom as a tool of some kind doing with age, when I am interested in what is ageless. That is a good starting point.
=========
I find it borderline tasteless, how indiscriminate minds can write off their least powerful of evidence. I am speaking - of course - re; attitude.
=========
There are many different ways in subjugating the term of attitude as something of a tangent, it is far too broad an idea that varies from both good and evil. That is not my point here. What this entails is that attitude in part to the modern day conventions of possession and the accumulation of wealth has blinded us.
=========
This may appear as an absurdity to most people conditioned in the art of consumption, I refer 'attitude' as the heart of supply and demand. The kind of thinking that takes place between how restrictions allow the average mind, to satisfy an endearing type of ego. Therefore, I apply attitude to revolutionary aims.
=========
Here is a good working dissertation involving the question of wisdom and awareness:
-----------------
"The only person who needs to accept you is yourself." (Cheryl Bercier, 2013)
----------------
That is true. But if that is true, it is also true that no one believes me. There is where the point is taken. A powerful made message, that gets you laughed at. Thinking for yourself is not a good quality in today's day and age, because if you do, I have found it goes against the normal conventions people end up attacking you with. (Which without it being the modern day dilemma:) forget how everything seems to be fashionable in the world and why is it all that matters. Does that sound impractical??
----------------
Try for even a day to truly move against the norms in society as I have = by trading in your entire existence for the purpose of a totally radical way of thoughts, to completely abolish what is perceived as normal you risk being seen as borderline irrational.
----------------
That is where I say you have to go to get anywhere even closest to the edge of your mind.

Some invaluable candid observations inspired by this entry:
1- Just because you have results driven mentality does not exclude you from being predictable, typical of a control freaks cult personality.
2- There is nothing worse than living a lie; especially if the person living that lie is not you.
3- I am so natural at sarcasm that people actually obey it.
4- There is something fundamentally wrong with the alpha-mentality in North American culture, quit flaunting how possessive you think you are.
5- It is funny how I can bring people out of their shells, when conformity is all they ever thought possible.
6- I need to enable that powerful feeling of nostalgia into Canadian culture, should be in its most ardent way of life.
7- Anarchy is typically treated as some form of obsolete; its very real pursuit is to enable my political will using an ideal as the example.

"There is such a thing as Honor. If you deal with a man, tell him the truth, then he must of necessity tell you the truth or he has no Honor. Protect another man as you expect him to protect you. If a man has no Honor, do not associate with him for he will taint you." - James Clavell
I do not appreciate this quote re; honor. To me honor is a skill at something much greater than my artistic eye tells me. So I see things not as they are, but in abstract ways, that help move the world. The quoted piece is a borderline judgment call, as fairly basic when breaking it down. It is choice in my abstract mind that honor means anything remotely true to me. If I fail my use of imagination, honor can be anything you want it to be - even if it means very average thinkers. I do not believe Clavell captures this dynamic. Am I saying I am a better person today, than I was 15 years ago, you are probably right. But how would you know that. There is my point. Huge discrepancy in Clavell's thought. (I have far more honor today than I ever have lest it be recognized.)
According to Clavell honor can misinform everything I do as in the frustrating world we live in, and it would still be honor. Morality is the same thing according to a hedonistic point of view. Where is honor in that? For example: I can be a corporate pig and claim everything I do is for the greater good. If I tell you that, do you believe me. I bet you might not. If and only if you do agree with my conditional, then I decide if you are honorable or not? No logic. Honor is more accurately defined as a moral dilemma as I have written herein, that misses the point of Clavell, albeit deliberately.

I am not your average thinker, I am not your average philosopher, I am not your average writer - & I sure as hell am not your average actor.
