Knowledge & Wisdom

Knowledge & Wisdom

I think that knowledge is what is learned and experienced. I think that one could be knowledgeable but not wise or wise and not knowledgeable.

Some say that with knowledge comes power and responsibility. I think that in some ways that this is true. I think that with knowledge you are able to do a lot, which is power, but that you should control what you do with the power, which is responsibility.

Knowledge being power isn’t true because if you know something it doesn’t stop someone else from knowing it. If two people know the same thing then they have the same power.

The difference between knowledge and wisdom is knowledge is what you know and have experienced. Wisdom is what you do with what you know.

I think that with knowledge comes power and responsibility with wisdom comes greatness. I think that tyrannical people are knowledgeable people but the rulers of great and strong nations, that keep more allies then enemies, are the wise.
