What is knowledge, and what is wisdom.

Knowledge appears to come easy enough to any who seek it, but wisdom seems to only come through experience.

I wonder what the difference between the two is.

The answer to this I seek, I hope that the wisdom and knowledge of others can once again make things clearer.

Hey CW.  I think knowledge is gained from study and following your interests and listening to other people.

Wisdom is acquired through experience and challenges.  Also failure is a great teacher.  You learn not to make the same mistakes over and over, eventually.

Knowledge: Having many facts crammed into your head.

 

Wisdom: Using what you know to help yourself and others.

 

I love Proverbs, chapter 4.

 

Get wisdom.

Knowledge is pretty much - memorize and regurgitate (either facts or experiences).

Wisdom is when you take knowledge and digest it, it becomes a part of you and expresses itself in what you do and say.

Knowledge is about getting it right.

Wisdom is knowing that getting it wrong is an opportunity to gain knowledge.

I think there's a third item that's missing:  Understanding.

 

Knowledge is having the facts.

 

Understanding means you have the ability to apply the knowledge that you have.

 

Wisdom means using your understanding in the best way.
