Last Say.

[Jakarta, Indonesia YR]

Without

Wisdom,

Knowledge

has the power

to

depress, exhaust,

strip you from joy

and abandon you

naked and cold.

How?

*

Sometimes,

we

 waste too much time

reasoning

over unnecessary details.

We

burden and exhaust 

our
energy
by hunting for

answers

which are

never meant to be found.

We could be

so determined

to get the answers,

we slide into a

disbelieving mode;

we speculate

every speck of fact

we find,

we challenge

 every word

we're told,

we shoot down

 every impossibility -

come what may,

you 

are persistent

to own the 

last say.

And in the end,

what do you get?

You've won

the argument,

followed by 

a host of unwanted guests

into your life.

Unhappiness.

Anger.

Confusion, at the worst degree

you've ever been in.

Is

knowledge 

so powerful?

Yes, it is.

Without a master 

to 

tame

him,

knowledge

could arouse you

into 

an unending wild chase

and

break you

along the way.

Wisdom 

is its best master

because it

leads

knowledge

by

distinguishing 

facts, lies and truth.

Knowledge

 is

 just

about

knowing things.

Wisdom

 is at a higher level

where it is

 capable of 

understanding 

what is

good to embrace,

what is

right to uphold

and

what is appropriate to

acknowledge 

yet not 

allow it to 

limit your faith

for

greater things to come.
