Seek wisdom along with knowledge. Knowledge is words. Wisdom is silent. Knowledge is understanding what is seen. Wisdom is knowing what is not seen. Without knowledge, one could not play the violin. Without wisdom, one could not play the music. — Thibaut
A Small Story
There is this two persons (A & B) working together. They do get along well.
Sometimes they do not. But they are managing it.
Once B said to A, what a fool you are? Why did you do it this way?
A laughed it off with loud laugh (even though A, felt the pain inside) and said I thought we can do it this way too. I can change it if you want to.
Few days passed.
Again second time B said to A, you are a fool. This time A just laughed it off (felt the pain again inside)
Now, certainly A is a not a fool. But to manage the relationship A kept quiet.
Even though A has every right to say it back to B.
Few days passed.
Again third time B said to A, what a fool you are. This time A smiled showing the teeth. (Again with the some pain)
Few days later
Again fourth time B said to A, what kind of a fool you are? This time A just smiled. (With the lot of pain)
Few days later
Again fifth time B said to A, you are a fool. This time A did not react. A was silent. (with lot of pain and with little anger piled up in the heart)
Few days went by
Again sixth time B said to A, what kind of a fool you are. A was silent. (with lot of pain and lot of angry piled up in the heart)
Few days went by
Again seventh time B said to A, what a fool you are…
This time A blasted out with all the pain and anger that piled up inside. Everyone could hear it what A said.
Everyone rushed to the scene.
Telling A to calm down not to yell and that was so rude to shout at B. They all said you are not supposed to do that.
A stood there with eyes drooped to the floor.
So…
Sometimes what you see is not what you see (think) at all.
Sometimes what you see is not what you see (think) at all.
So folks don’t come to conclusions and judgments with what you see.
Understand what you could not see. Under that the truth might be lurking.
It is so true!
