I think what he is saying is that too many people go through school and are given half of the information. That half is knowledge. However, to truly understand something you must know the whole story....the other half....and that takes wisdom....or you gain wisdom that way. But too many people don't take the extra step towards wisdom because they don't see the value in it and feel that even if it was worth something it just to much work to obtain. That's what I got from reading....

As for my take...well it goes like this.

The person stated that knowledge is the gathering of information within the human mind. Well I think that is true to an extent. I think knowledge is the ability to gather information on something and then later be able to recall that information.

Wisdom is the not just the ability to know something but also why, where, when, and how. To understand it. I don't think age matters...It just helps. Seeing things with your own eyes over and over again gives a much more accurate description then anything anybody has ever written. I think everybody becomes wise in something. Some people are wise in many subjects others in just one.

I just don't think there is a need for wisdom as there was years ago with all the technology. It will probably go lower down the ladder.

A good book to read about something like this is The Giver by Lois Lowry.
