You write that knowledge differs from wisdom as an atom
differs from a molecule, but I wonder if the analogy really
goes far enough. We can string knowledge together to form
molecular chains out of atomic facts, but this is not a
sufficient condition to give us wisdom, IMO.
In moments where I experience what I might call wisdom, it
feels more like my awareness acquires an added dimension
which surrounds facts in a kind of depth.
We also could possibly note that there is a wisdom which
can follow from facts, and also a wisdom which can precede
facts.
There is perhaps also a value dimension to wisdom which
goes beyond fact.
Sincerely,
John Dale
