Essays on Wisdom
(April/May 2010)
BELIEFS/CONVICTIONS OF A WISE PERSON
This list is of course not all inclusive, but rather is
a further sampling of personality traits that are embraced by those who have found and have remained on The Path to Wisdom
for some time...
1) Always simplify any subject, no matter how complicated it may seem to be.
2) Always ask why, until the question can no longer be answered. You will then have found the core element of any subject,
whether positive or negative.
3) Do not knowingly participate in or provide moral support for any activity
that is largely dysfunctional and/or deceptive in nature.
4) Always follow and tell the truth, regardless
of any personal risk that may be at stake.
5) Seek to be a guiding light throughout your lifetime.
6) Listen to what others have to say, but don't allow your convictions to waver just because others don't see the
same facts that you do.
7) If a governmental entity insists on excessive complication when describing a
particular matter, it's usually because elected officials desire to hide something from the masses.
8) Don't
be afraid of solitude. The best humanitarian ideas often come from individuals who spend time alone in the wilderness contemplating.
