Philosophy 2

The division between knowledge, wisdom, and opinion In modern society exists a constant struggle between individuals to develop the keenest intellect. Humans compete on a daily basis for the intellectual power over other humans. In conversations, arguments, tests, academic achievements, recreational quizzes & games, and in the execution of daily tasks, displaying one’s own intellect is vital. But how well do such events measure an individual’s intellect? What defines intellect in the first place? …

…order at a restaurant, how you react to a stranger, what magazine you choose to read, what clothes you choose to wear. All of these decisions are based on how your knowledge and wisdom have formed. While there are obvious division between all three aspects of the intellectual being, there are also obvious connections. Opinion, wisdom, and knowledge are undeniably the result of each other. Intellect is, therefore, the measure of balance between the three.
