Day 1

Yes, this is DAY 1.

Of course this is not the first day of my life, nor the first day of anything other thing in particular. Its just the first day of my blog.

What is the purpose of life?

Being someone that has walked many years on this earth, probably I would fall in the second half of the ages, I think it warrants me at least some credibility to the things that I have to say.

Not to say that younger people dont have valid truths, but truth is only law if it has proof of validity. Of course it takes time to proove a theory. Theories of wisdoms take just as much time to proove as does any theory of the sciences.

Firstly it is important to establish that knowledge and wisdom are two different things. To have knowledge, is to gather information. Wisdom is the ability to know what to do correctly with the information that you have. It is the developing of wisdom that is the time consuming part.

Knowledge has become so accessible with the emergence of the world wide web, one needs only to literally press a button to have all the knowledge in the world at one's disposal. No matter how much information is gathered this does not make a person wise, it only means they win the trivia contests. hehe

To become wise, one has to test the knowledge that one has gleened. Even on this, there are two necessary points to be made. Firstly, do people consciously know that they need to explore their knowledge in order to gain wisdom, and secondly, that circumstances happen in life that force us to put to practice our knowledge. These are our survival intuitions, however, without being consciously aware of the knowledge we must employ in these circumstances we are bound to find ourself imbroiled in these same issues over and over again.

So my belief is that life is about the birth of our wisdoms.

What say you?
