You called me wise once for not saying something out loud. Perhaps wise is knowing when to keep your mouth shut.

Got to go with the essence of this one.GreatandWiseTrixie wrote:One does not seek wisdom, but Truth. Once Truth is attained, wisdom will flow in abundance.
There's imo very little difference between wisdom and truth. Wisdom is refined knowledge, truth is a confirmed/verified conclusion.GreatandWiseTrixie wrote:Knowing not to read and reply to every pointless thread you see on this forum, and most forums in general.What is wise?
Since this topic seems slightly less vapid than most, (albeit this topic is quite lazy) I will give you the answer you seek.
One does not seek wisdom, but Truth. Once Truth is attained, wisdom will flow in abundance.
Ok so name me one absolute truth? One utter immutable fact that to all races and or species and x in the universe, is, just true regardless of your perceptions? And if you are going to come up with platitudes, have the decency to know something about truth before you precede to assumption and then farce.GreatandWiseTrixie wrote:There is no contradiction of any kind.Blaggard wrote:

Is perception absolute and objective or is it subjective. If so how would one discern an absolute truth? If one could that is?
Knowing is one thing truth is another, they are not the same thing.
It's a contradiction to say you alone or anyone knows an absolute truth or even a truth, the semantics matter, and then to then say there is in anyway a reason to believe that anything is absolutely untrue or that by contingency one implies the other necessarily is sophistry of the worst kind.
Those who think they know the truth absolutely only have faith, those who have found some truth, by necessity have found some doubt.

Not at all. Existence itself is the greatest truth of all, and also the greatest curse...Blaggard wrote: Existence itself? You are joking right?
What? Free will doesn't exist, and that's a fact. Existence does exist, it's a fact, not my opinion. And opinion would be, like, saying "life is good."Blaggard wrote:How do you know any of the above? It's just your opinion, whilst there may be no free will, there even might be existence for all anyone knows, how can you define existence by assertion of fact a priori? Or anything at all because you just say so?
You might agree existence exists but such a tautology is meaningless when it comes to either truth or reality as we may or more likely may not know it. So what does truth denote truth?
