It takes wisdom to be happy. Smart people are more likely to become wise over time.
- e_i_pi_2 4y agoJust my personal experience but to me it seems like intelligence is a handicap for wisdom - you're more likely to rationalize stuff in a way that doesn't fit the "common sense" answer to things
- imiric 4y ago> It takes wisdom to be happy. Umm, no? The world is full of happy and unwise people. "Ignorance is bliss", etc. > Smart people are more likely to become wise over time. I'm not sure if this is true either. We're talking about terms that are very difficult to properly define, but wisdom is gained through experience, and has no relation to IQ. There are many wise people we wouldn't consider intelligent, and intelligent people that are not wise.
