Reconciling, in earnest, is then a possibility. Desire alone is not enough. The road to true wisdom. We freely use such words as, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, to describe the process of intellectual growth. The possibility for knowledge begins when we take in raw sense data by listening, reading, or seeing.
Understanding brings together interrelated bits of knowledge.
And finally, wisdom adds value to understanding by relating it to one's past, present, and future. Yet I pose the idea that this conceptual schema is false. There is no such thing as the development of purely intellectual wisdom. Along the road to true wisdom lay God. Don't let your emotions control you.
