Wisdom...
Understanding...
Intelligence...
Knowledge...
What the heck are the differences between them all??? (if any)
It is said - Knowledge is power.. Then what about Intelligence? What about Understanding?
What about WISDOM?
Ok, just for the fun of it-let's make things slightly more complicated. There is data, there is information and then there is knowledge. Those who are involved in the study of data and information would know the differences.
Then there is the notion of:
You know what you know
You know what you don't know
You don't know what you know
You don't know what you don't know
But what about the first four...?
My puny mind tries to understand it this way:
data - information - knowledge - intelligence - understanding - wisdom (in increasing order)
Data - facts, unprocessed or unpackaged for a specific purpose
Information - Processed Data for a specific purpose
Knowledge - Processed Information combined with experiences for a specific purpose
Intelligence - Ability to apply Knowledge in specific circumstances to achieve certain purposes
... (things are getting more complicated from this point onwards)
Understanding - Ability to get enlightenment (took me a while to find this word) over certain matters derived from the Data, Information, Knowledge and Intelligence involved.
Wisdom - (speechless)
Solomon personifies wisdom as the first of all creations even before the earth existed. She was there beside the Creator and involved in the creation. He even urges others to get wisdom and understanding at all cost...
So what is wisdom?
I am still seeking...
