[DSM0305]

True wisdom is not when we judge or ridicule one another,
As none of us are better than one from the other.

True wisdom is not all the facts that you think you know,
Every time you open your mouth for the entire world to show.

True wisdom is not your version and the opinions you convey,
But rather tolerance, acceptance and understanding is the way.

True wisdom is usually conspicuous through silent interaction,
And shown by the deeds that you continually put into action!

[BarakzaiAbdali]

Isaac Asimov had a good comment:

The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that ....'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'

Ignorance is king. Many would not profit by his abdication. Many enrich themselves by means of his dark monarchy. They are his Court, and in his name they defraud and govern, enrich themselves and perpetuate their power. Even literacy they fear, for the written word is another channel of communication that might cause their enemies to become united. Their weapons are keen-honed, and they use them with skill. They will press the battle upon the world when their interests are threatened, and the violence which follows will last until the structure of society as it now exists is leveled to rubble, and a new society emerges. I am sorry. But that is how I see it. - Walter Miller

“I’m tired of ignorance held up as inspiration, where vicious anti-intellectualism is considered a positive trait, and where uninformed opinion is displayed as fact.” Phil Plait

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

“The lowest quality of an ignorant man is that he lays claim to knowledge which he does not deserve. His most common characteristic is ignorance of his own ignorance, and the most extreme aspect of his ignorance is to reject knowledge.” — Imam Jafar as-Sadiq

my signature.................

Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
Thanks to the human heart by which we live,
Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.

William Wordsworth’s “Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood.”

"

A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether."
- Roy Williams

[DSM0305]

You can't fix yourself by breaking someone else.

[DSM0305]

Don't shrink yourself
For someone else's comfort -
Do not become small
for people who refuse to grow.

[DSM0305]

You have never really lived
Until you have done something
For someone who can never repay you

[DaZahroJaam.]

[DSM0305]

A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes
smart enough to profit from them
and strong enough to correct them.
