What is wisdom?

I read an article that connects notions of wisdom with loneliness. In the article, loneliness is defined this way: “Loneliness does not mean being alone; loneliness does not mean not having friends. […] Loneliness is defined as ‘subjective distress.’ Essentially, it is the perceived gap between the relationships you have and the ones you want.â€

On the other hand, wisdom is defined as “a complex human trait with specific components — i.e., emotional regulation, self-reflection, pro-social behaviors such as empathy and compassion, decisiveness, social advising, tolerance of divergent values, and spirituality.â€

For myself, it is useful to have a more clear understanding of “what is wisdom?†and its effect on subjective distress.

A good read. CLICK HERE
