Wisdom!

Wisdom is a strange thing. I've never thought of it (or her, as it's personified in Proverbs) as something to be taught by humans. I mean, your parents kinda steer you there as best they can throughout your life, because they have wisdom, or they're supposed to, at least. But I always thought that wisdom was some mysterious quality that you acquire as you get older and go through hard things, but can't necessarily be taught, unless by listening to your grandmother for days on end.
According to Caroline Bassett, who wrote "Emergent Wisdom: Living a Life in Widening Circles," wisdom can be mapped out into several 'dimensions:' discerning, respecting, engaging, and transforming. Only two of these areas-- transforming and discerning, but mostly transforming-- seem to deal directly with 'concrete' knowledge. I think that's why it's so hard to teach wisdom. Nearly impossible, in fact. Wisdom is what you do with what you learn from other people, personal events, and authority figures: how you therefore use judgment to live your life. This isn't another grade or gold star for a student to earn and check off the list. Such a thing is too nebulous for colleges. Why waste money trying to teach something you can't accurately grade?
The HSP might do a study on the wisdom passages in Proverbs. Other than that, and reading a lot of good literature, I can't think of a way to really internalize the good principles that usually accompany wisdom. It's tough to evaluate. I think it's usually reflected in the way one lives, but that's hard to grade. I guess we'll see eventually... maybe when we get to Heaven!
