Question:

Is Wisdom obtained by age or experiences?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Actually many with either age or experience or both NEVER achieve it. I think you need to be born with the potential. ~
Saw a great line in a book written by 12 scholars:
Wisdom cannot be taught in graduate and professional schools. It is a rare commodity, not because it is the monopoly of the privileged classes, but because it occurs so seldom. It is not the appanage of the rich, well borne, and well educated. It can be found among the poorest and most ignorant peasants, as well as occasionally in the posh clubs of urbanized, international intellectuals.
