What is wisdom? It is the result of multiple paradigms brought to their intellectual furthest reaches and balanced and merged together. The fundamentalist, the person who only sees life through a single lens, can never hope for wisdom.

About This Quote

Wisdom is a discovery of the truth. When you find the truth, it works for you and you feel good about yourself, because you know that no one else can see it for what it really is. Wisdom requires a balance of all possible perspectives to arrive at a conclusion. It’s a synthesis of multiple paradigms brought to their intellectual furthest reaches and balanced and merged together. The fundamentalist, the person who only sees life through a single lens, can never hope for wisdom because he or she will always see only half the truth.
