KNOWLEDGE OR WISDOM

A COMPARISON-CONTRAST
CEDYDAN SALEN
III RUTHERFORD

Have you experienced having lowest score in class? Maybe yes, maybe no. Have you asked yourself what’s wrong with me? Maybe I need more knowledge or maybe I need more wisdom but what is the difference between the two?

Knowledge, this is why we go to school. To get more knowledge. It is more on teaching or learning something about a certain field of study while wisdom is like being wise; it is like using your common sense. Some people thinks that wisdom and knowledge is the same so some chose not to study, some chose to specialized and be better. This knowledge nor wisdom can’t go with you till death so why study? Why King Solomon did chose wisdom rather than knowledge? Does it mean that wisdom is better than knowledge?

For me, I think we need both wisdom and knowledge while we are living in this world with so many obstacles to pass through. Just like Jesus said, “All things have its reason”. I also want to live with contentment with the help of both wisdom and knowledge. If you only have knowledge with no wisdom, you can’t do a very simple and common sense thing while if you only have wisdom with no knowledge, you can’t get a good and legal job for a peaceful and happy living life. So to those who are losing hope, just pray and God will help you all the way. ^^
