Wisdom?

Prompt: What does wisdom mean to you?          

         

         I believe wisdom is a combination of life experience and common sense. I'm thinking of that adage "wisdom of the ages". If I'm lucky enough to become a senior citizen, I hope to have learned a thing or two.

         I love this saying. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present. Some would say that wisdom is acceptance. Live in the here and now. Don't rehash the past or waste time and effort worrying about the what-ifs. Enjoy today.

          This is an example of Not Wisdom: rubbing coffee grounds on your naked body to prevent cellulite, in a Starbucks. Another is not washing your hands despite public health warnings re Coronavirus.
