What is the difference between knowledge and wisdom?

Posted on Jul 2nd, 2008 by Zephyr : Poeticspirit Zephyr
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 02, 2008:

Knowledge is clarity of  accumulated cognition, the result of perception, learning and reasoning. Being fallible and human I goof sometimes, but if I am mindful and apply the light of love. W...isdom is the happy result . it is a fine line to tread.

What you say is very wise.  I have helped to create a school for obtaining wisdom, http://www.onlinehumanities.com.  Please let me know what you think.

Aley, just commented on your blog and then I find you here. Thank you, panache, haven't used that word for a long time, it's a very satisfying sound. Hugs.

Flax, thank you. Well  I missed 4 yrs of school due to illness and left school at 15, so all i learned was through life experience and self taught by reading, so I'm not sure that I am that qualified to comment on higher education, though I did look and it looked interesting, and I liked the idea of a free trial, which would be a taste of what to expect from the course.

It's way too late to be up and I read “you walk the thin or fine line with pancake.
Go to bed mimi.  ((((hugs))

Thank you all, and Mimi was that pancakes with maple syrup or pancake makeup or perhaps a cowpat? LOL

Can you have knowledge but be unwise?

I guess yes -  thinking of the saying a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!!!
Also as I get older I realise more how little I know.

Hi Pookie,
 Knowledge is just information - a tool. 
It all depends on how you use it and where you apply it. 
Use your knowledge skillfully and with a good heart/good intention.

I think that information can be powerful, or it can be totally worthless, depending on how its used.
