Description I don't know if I still feel this way, because sanity really can't be defined in my opinion. No one really has the right to say what it is.

my personal definition of wisdom is having learned from your mistakes in the past and applying knowledge when confronted with subsequent opportunities to make the same mistakes over and over again, so that when these situations unfold, you control your logic rather than your emotions controlling you to react in a way which throws you back into the cycle of insanity. to do the same thing expecting a different result is pure insanity, and we often react that way emotionally. Adapting your behavior so that your more focused on the NOW, and how to deal with it thoughtfully, is wisdom.

That's very true. People confuse their emotions and characteristics for wisdom, for the way they handle things etc...and yeah to do the same thing to find a different result is insanity, but the whole cycle is insanity itself. I'd like to think that perhaps, that is it's purest form. But as for wisdom...applying knowledge = smart. applying what you've learned from that knowledge = wisdom, therefore if you take too much out of what you learn and depict it too much....that will trigger the insanity, so maybe wisdom isn't insanity....maybe it's just the further we look into it, our brains can't deal and weren't meant for that kind of work in the mind causing our structured walls of the insane to stand firm....then eventually...it doesn't even matter how wise we are to begin with because as you've said with the whole cycle thing, we'd only repeat ourselves to find different answers making us stupid and definately not wise, and we'll be right at the beginning once again. How depressing....

holy shit, I'm all wigged out now. That makes sense. It's like our brains only function as a filter anyways to weed out everything unimportant to survival. So trying to understand our reasons for surviving just makes us all crazy!

yeah and all those reason's to survive in the first place are probably a joke for God's amusement...then again, I could be totally wrong. I'm not sure yet, but the one's who are, usually die pretty quickly.

round and round in circles. I am the dissonance within that chaotic stucture, and maybe....just maybe wisdom is a pure form of pain's insanity pattern. ha HA! I could think like this for hours.
