Is life worth living - the ultimate question. It calls for reflection, an examination of all of life.
The art of thinking must result in the art of living. It must be energised by emotion but requires toil of the mind. There must be a critique of illusions and prejudices. It can never end in debating. It requires courage to act in the face of evil and self-denial in the face of egotism.
Joyful, truthful living is seen to be the end of wisdom - an invigorating lucidity. The Bible describes the beginning of wisdom as fearing God. Eternal life is to know Him. Christ,the Wisdom of God made man, is 'the Way, the Truth and the Life.' The seal of this truth, His resurrection.
Words of wisdom should be as a pebble in a pond whose ripples continue to spread out far beyond its own circumference.
