Love of wisdom

Love of wisdom
Philosophy is a Greek word meaning love of wisdom so a philosopher should be one who is interested in wisdom.
First we should understand what is the REAL wisdom.
Is wisdom limited to this physical arena or universe or it goes well beyond his border?
Wisdom put an end to the search for knowledge so if the total wisdom can be acquired within this universe we should not really worried to look elsewhere but as we know that is not possible because peace of mind and happiness are impossible to achieve in this material world.
Anyone saying that he-she is totally happy physically and materially in this material dimension is not telling the truth because within everyone of us something tell us to go ahead all the time.
There is always something to learn and to acquire in a never ending efford and this prevent us from gaining total peace and happiness.
So the real wisdom must be outside this physical world therefore materialism and real wisdom can not go hand in hand.
In other words phylosophy has nothing to do with anyone who pretend to acquire real knowledge by studying physical science.
