Your quote ” However it is certainly not an age of knowledge and even less an age of wisdom” is a World of wisdom in itself.” I can’t add more to that nor do i need to… i was thinking along that line this morning back at zanga …Thanks for a great post! 🙂

I, too, wish there was more wisdom. We truly are lacking.

I believe that there is lots for each of us to discover within ourselves. We need to delve deeper so that we may learn that wisdom… and maybe help to enlighten others.

An age of wisdom, yes! Like discovering the world was not flat or that the earth travels around the sun and not vice-versa. The ages onset fast faster and faster. Let the wisdom age begin! 🙂

What disturbs me is not just the lack of insight accompanying knowledge but the inequality of access to knowledge. The levels of literacy across the globe are still poor, even in the UK where I am. Old people and poor people don’t always have immediate access to computers, or the skills to operate them in order to access information; and too many young people are still leaving school without the bare minimum of literacy. There is a rapidly growing split between those who have access to knowledge (I’m thinking here in particular legal advice, social benefits, political choice, etc.) and those who have no access and are thereby denied full participation in society.
