Wisdom is prized in both Eastern and Western cultures.
Philosophy, according to Socrates and Plato, is literally the desire of wisdom (philo-sophia).
- Wisdom is your fundamental essence, according to Eastern traditions, and it leads to profound satisfaction for yourself as well as helping others discover pleasure inside themselves.
- You may get access to more knowledge.
- Because you learn to control your own thoughts and emotions, mindfulness leads to knowledge.
You don't think a negative idea is real just because you have one.
- When you're dealing with difficult emotions like sorrow, worry, or irritation, you may use mindfulness to process them rather of allowing them to dominate you.
- You'll be able to listen closely to people and form satisfying, long-lasting connections as your emotional equilibrium improves.
- You can make better choices when your thinking is clear.
- You may be happy and healthier if you have an open heart.
- Because of your increased awareness, mindfulness leads to knowledge.
- You become more conscious of how you interact with yourself, others, and the environment.
- You'll be in a lot better position to make educated decisions with this increased awareness.
- You are consciously aware and take action based on contemplation and what is in the best interests of everyone, including yourself, rather than existing mechanically like a robot.
The Dalai Lama is someone I admire for his wisdom.
- He's nice and sensitive, and he cares about other people's well-being.
- He aspires to make the world a better place by reducing pain and increasing pleasure.
- He's not egotistical, he smiles a lot, and he doesn't appear overburdened by his responsibilities or the tremendous losses he's suffered.
- People seem to relish the opportunity to spend time with him.
- He seems to live in a thoughtful manner.
Regard the individuals you consider to be smart.
What distinguishes them?
I'm guessing you find them attentive and cognizant of their activities, rather than repetitive and buried in their own thoughts.
