Included in this teaching are knowledge/wuxsowa’kàn.
Opposites are foolishness, and ignorance. Listen to the knowledge and the
wisdom of the Elders! For what they have to say is well worth listening to
and remembering, as they have seen much and have learned much in living a
long life. Wisdom is knowledge coupled with experience. Just to learn, to
have knowledge is not enough to make one wise. You must put knowledge to use,
otherwise it is useless. Wisdom is nothing without the knowledge to apply
it, and knowledge without wisdom to guide it can be a dangerous thing. Wisdom
is the fruit born of knowledge and experience. It comes in different ways
to different peoples, no one can own it, and it has a spirit and purpose of
its own. Wisdom is knowing that people are of more importance than things
or money. Wisdom is knowing that we are nothing without spirit.
