I want to have a go and disagree.

We associate wisdom with the

and also

These are some of the most commonly shared properties of wisdom.

If so, then a wise man/woman can separate the challenges worth attending to and the ones that are not. This is not necessairly associated with "knowledge" in a strict sense.

But a knowledgeable person can have a lot of stuff in his/her brain and not being able to use that knowledge to live properly. If not able to do so, then grief and sorrow can be real and happening.

From literature, you have the example of Ivan Karamazov in the Karamazov Brothers. He is brilliant, knowledgeable, has his way with words. But he doesn't have wisdom, that's why he is bitter and sad. Father Kolima, in the other hand, is wise and knowledgeable. But his clarity comes fron the fact that he put into practice the good stuff he learned. And that's the beginning of wisdom.

So yeah, Knowledge that is not put at work can generate sorrow and bitterness and sadness. But if you put that into work, I believe that it can turn into wisdom. And with wisdom rarely sorrow and bitterness arise.

I still remember these quotes!

I love this. True wisdom can lead to sorrow, but it also has the power to inspire growth, compassion, and the pursuit of meaning despite the weight of awareness. It's a reminder that understanding comes with both burdens and blessings.
