Allow me to explicitly pose the implicit question I see in this thread "What does it mean to be wise, as opposed to robotic on the one hand, and sly on the other?"
How might one cultivate wisdom?
- wintermutestwin 7y agoPractice active listening principles. Effective active listening requires giving your full attention AND actually being curious enough to shift your perspective to the other.
- dsr_ 7y agoWisdom is hard. It requires an active life in which you work with other people to accomplish things. It also requires that you think about those interactions and how they could have gone better -- if only you had behaved differently. And then it requires recognizing those situations while you are in the middle of them, before you open your mouth or touch that keyboard, and applying those hypothetical changes. And it's not guaranteed. Practice, practice, practice.
