Aristotle

I agree with Aristotle that wisdom is the greatest virtue. I think the relationship between knowledge and wisdom is that they are both bits of information that we believe to be true. The difference between the two is that knowledge is information that not only do we believe to be true but there is evidence to back up the claim. Wisdom, on the other hand, is information that we believe to be true but there is no evidence to support the claim. I think wisdom is something that we acquire over a lifetime of experiences and interactions. To me, knowledge is something more tangible. As college students I would like to think that we are acquiring knowledge as well as wisdom. But I think in order to do that you must be open to the experiences with others in addition to what we read in the textbooks. A person can read tons of books and study fiercely, but without gaining actual experiences it strains their ability to acquire wisdom. Ideally I would like to be perceived as knowledgeable and wise. I think the information ages makes us wiser and more knowledgeable. The Internet offers avenues to gain knowledge and facilitates our ability to hear and see what is going on in the world around us.
