Wisdom and stupidness

Wisdom is more a state of mind than a knowledge, that is because the most wise people don't learn waht they know on books, with masters or by reflection, that is because they do not learn "to be wise" at all. The reasoning behind this nonsense of mine is that wisdom comes from simple things, even primitive things from our instincts or just by seen a pattern on a general situation an knowing how to use it to the favor of oneself, and those things do not require any secret knowledge hidden on a dusty book nor a initiation on ancient arts, all you can possibly need is a calm but still observant state of mind, to recognize and connect the dots, that's all that is to it.

This theory of mine explains why there is so much people that never even learned to read an write and still are able to give life-changing advice and, on the other hand, how there is people that although is highly "graduated" and has amounts of knowledge about their areas of study one can only dream of, is suffering from things  that most people consider simple to understand, like how to understand feelings from others and self. Furthermore, I state that wisdom being mostly a mind-state than something you can accumulate, it seem only logical to say that there are people that can be on that state and then suddenly "snap out of it", being the kind of person that you cannot exactly say if is dumb or wise at all, the answer is that maybe they can be both, wise when it is about something that they are comfortable with and just plain dumb when it's something that touches them personally and makes them feel threatened enough to make them "forget" how to take god decisions.

Truth is, we all are this last kind of person, as much as anybody can give life-changing advice, anyone is safe from being dumb from time to time, and the only thing that can help us in that matter is to perfect the ability to stay calm even when the matter hits where it hurts. Also, the same way you can "extract" wisdom and lessons from any, and I repeat, ANY situation and thing on life, doesn't matter how weird or trivial it may seem, it is also perfectly possible and very very common to not be able to see an obvious truth by being blinded by your own mind, I have done it both myself plenty of times and I'm sure you have too.

That's it, a shitty little text for  shitty little blog, nonetheless hope you enjoy it and that it can be of some help, see you soon...

Also, I put those images because I both find it funny and think the text needs it to be less plain and boring, pls don't scream at me.
