Love of wisdom

[Little Rik]

Those who pretend to be philosophers by practicing only theory are just a bunch of mental masturbators.

Maybe, but the orgasms are mind-blowing!

This sort of mind-blowing remind me of those beautiful bubbles with those beautiful rainbow colors floating in the air.
The problem is that after a very short time they will burst and then you will be left with nothing.
I am rather interested in something that last which is usually achieved by hard work and sacrifices.

Knowledge helps you get what you want. Wisdom helps you want the right things. Or something like that. Whatever.

The two things can be separated in anyone life but most of the time they go hand in hand and this is the very best.

IF this 'WISDOM' exists, then it must exist outside of this existence, according to your argument.
The simplest solution is that your 'WISDOM' does not exist, either here or elsewhere, or that it isn't an existential quantity. Got any evidence that it is, or is this just more religious wishful thinking?

You got it wrong. I did not say that wisdom must exist outside this existence. I instead said that it can not exist within this finite universe.
Within this existence we all have the possibility to solve all the problem that we face.
In nature every problem has got a solution.
When you search for wisdom you do not look outside because the solution is inside.
Outside you can only see the tip of the iceberg and that is the smallest part of the whole.
By searching in your own subconscious then you will be able to find what you need.

You also implied that because people do not find peace in this life, it is impossible for them to find peace in this life. This does not follow. I may not have found my car keys yet, but that failure is no indication that they cannot be found, period.
I'm inclined to agree that peace can't be had in this life, but not based on some moronic ontological argument.

Again, if you read properly you will find that i refer to physical-material world not to our essence of life.

Oh, and if you don't stop writing in blue text, I'm going to stop reading you and advise others to do likewise.

I did not know that people would get upset because of this.
I thought that by writing in blue that would make it easy to distinguish between the quotation and the answer.
Anyway we are in a democracy (i hope) so if other people think that is ok for me to write in blue then i will keep on doing so.
On the other hand if some more people or the moderators find this wrong then i will stop immediately.
Why would you try to convince other people?
If they dont like they would have complained already.

Liar. You wrote:

So the real wisdom must be outside this physical world therefore materialism and real wisdom can not go hand in hand.

And since you chose to reply to everyone but me in black, and me alone in blue, in spite of my complaining about writing in blue — and that's the exact, appropriate phrase, that you did it out of spite — it's obvious that you're a twat brained troll who is just trying to cause trouble.

I encourage anyone and everyone to simply ignore you.

When i say PHYSICAL i do intend PHYSICAL not mental or spiritual so when i say............So the real wisdom must be outside this physical world therefore materialism and real wisdom can not go hand in hand............i just men PHYSICAL and nothing else.
Do you know what is the difference among physical, mental and spiritual?
It does not seem that you know.
Materialistic minds float on the physical level so there is no way that they will be able to raise their mind and spirit to higher level preventing therefore their consciousness to achieve real wisdom but those who are not materialistic can achieve wisdom because their attitude are not based on materialism.
It is very important to distinguish among the 3 component of our life (physical, mental and spiritual) otherwise we make a terrible confusion.
