Intelligence vs Wisdom (I)

The Oxford English Dictionary defines wisdom as "Capacity of judging rightly in matters relating to life and conduct; soundness of judgement in the choice of means and ends; sometimes, less strictly, sound sense, esp. in practical affairs: opp. to folly".

Wisdom is not fully taught in the university. And many who claim to be authorities have contradicted one another on the best path to follow when we are at crossroads. Our modern culture seems to place more emphasis on making a living than on making a life. The media is awash with stories begging for wisdom.
