↗ Reply to: The Wisdom Paradox - Sketchplanations

Wisdom is a strange thing. The Wisdom Paradox is this: when we realise we are less wise than we thought, we become wiser. […] Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment. The naivety of youth is a lovely thing. As a teenager, you can be sure that the grown-ups are doing it all wrong, and the path to better is obvious. Then, as an adult, it somehow seems more difficult than before. Some 20 years ago I became familiar with this principle, and it’s beautiful. There’s no greater feeling of satisfaction than learning and overcoming your own ignorance. — § —Reply via email#pkm #serenity %commentary
