Re: Inteligence VS Wisdom

I have a different view on this .Intelligence is the ability to quickly grasp knowledge ,read patterns ,anticipate movements ,crystallise knowledge on the basis of available data,use words to further mental progression and direct flows of thought in groups.Wisdom is something more down-to-earth ,depending upon the shared knowledge of the community and is more practical ,concerning itself with  self-preservation than with pursuit of knowledge. It is a cliched thinking to say that older people are repositories of wisdom while the younger ones are "intelligent" .Both the young and the old can be wise and/or intelligent.
