Briefly Wise

Yeah. To put it quite simply, somebody wanted to look at: where this wisdom is going to really take us ! For most people, the word seems to scare, trying to demand some unusual and abnormal amount of involvement, efforts, diversion from the comforts of ‘routine’ etc. They settle down for just an ‘average’ life, where the routine happens without much hassles (occasional ups and down are okay…. Okay because…. It happens with everybody….. if it is going to happen only to us, then, even that is not okay!). That ‘wise’ seems too burdensome (we find even that ‘common sense’ in us being challenged so frequently… why run into risk trying to chase that ‘unearthly’ wisdom? That is the ‘stand’ to be taken to maintain a stable equilibrium of mind!).

I was amused, when a question sought to set things “straight”, one leading to the other, starting from simple ignorance.

(That, the proviso “maybe”, is carefully inserted, not out of doubts or apprehension, is all that I can say, about my own view point about it.)
