What is Wisdom?

People think that the renowned persons, scholars and different sorts of experts in human society are quite great. In fact, they are all very insignificant, for they are everyday people. Their knowledge is only that tiny bit understood by the modern science of human society. In the vast universe, from the most macroscopic to the most microscopic, human society is exactly in the very middle, in the most outer layer, and on the most outer surface. Also, its living beings are the lowest form of existence, so their understanding of matter and mind is very limited, superficial, and pitiful. Even with all of mankind’s knowledge grasped, one would remain an everyday person.
