What Is Wisdom

Data is converted into information vie a question. 

Knowledge is assembled/organized information 

Opinions are formed when knowledge is applied to situations.

If all this were true: What then is wisdom?

Using the provided definitions, I guess I would say wisdom is using knowledge and opinions in tandem to solve problems or create strategies for living life.

Mostly, I view wisdom as being able to make accurate predictions using incomplete data, and applying these predictions to overall life strategies.

I believe your right. I even have an example that exactly fits.

Solomon seems to have shown wisdom, but in reading this again for myself, it could be that Solomon was also lucky. Hmmmmm

Wisdom is when one just simply understands & knows in his heart what the results will be from certain choices in life. It is a result of living life, repeatedly seeing the consequences of certain behaviors or ideologies.

When I see people buying brand new cars or houses, who can no way afford it, and then listening to said person tell me how they can afford it...... I see the lack of wisdom. I was able to raise my family on one income, never making over $45,000 during those years. People kept telling me it is impossible to do so. We are all wise in certain areas & I guess you could say I was wise when it came to finances.

It is so obvious to many people that the Liberal so called Progressive movement is a terrible ideology for a nation's well being. It has proven true with our broken culture & broken families. But Liberals will still deny it. I would call Liberals the antithesis of wisdom.

Are you actually incapable of discussing anything without putting a partisan spin on it?

Simply, I think wisdom is the proper way to use knowledge. It is how smart you react to situations or ideas while considering all the aspects.

All I can say about all of this is that all wisdom comes from God. Period.

Knowing that you actually know and knowing when you don't.

It's not something you're born with, it's something that you must gain.

It is knowing when to do and it is knowing when not to do.
