There
seems to be a lot of talk about wisdom thesedays and
yet wisdom is really not about talking. Instead it
is all about how we interact with others and the larger
world.
Truly wise people know that every action and reaction
impacts on the whole and that there is a need to tread
lightly and mindfully, ever conscious of how our decisions
might impact on future generations.
Truly
wise people also recognise that we carry within us
the very dna of our ancestors together with old patterns
and conditioning that can effect how we see the world.
To walk the wisdom way we have a responsibility to
acknowledge these patterns and to understand that
they create a lens through which our individual perceptions
have developed.
The wisdom way allows us to hold true to our values
and beliefs whilst acknowledging that they come only
from our perspective. It creates an openess to the
perspective of others and hence the possibility for
mutual transformation.
