Knowledge is information that you acquire from
studying certain subjects or from others. Wisdom is acquired knowledge that you
have applied into your life to create experiences to help you understand the
knowledge at a deeper level. In other words, knowledge is knowing while wisdom
is understanding. In my point of view, acquiring knowledge does not keep us from
acquiring wisdom. However, knowledge is necessary for wisdom. We can have
knowledge without wisdom but cannot have wisdom without knowledge. Two of them
are tightly bound together. I would say I am acquiring both knowledge and wisdom
in college. Whenever we study for the midterms of finals, we are gaining
knowledge. After we understand the knowledge and know how to apply back in our
lives and gain experiences, then it turns into wisdom. I think the information
age nowadays helps us become wiser by providing many aspects of knowledge. It actually
depends on how people make use of the information from the internet or media.
I agree with how you described knowledge and wisdom. Although closely related in terms, they are both different. I agree with the fact that knowledge is something you acquire mainly through studies while wisdom is something that you acquire through experience applied with knowledge. Knowledge and wisdom is something we acquire through the years here in college. With the knowledge we gain through our studies, we are able to apply that in our lives and they become wisdom. We use our knowledge every day to get through our lives and many times we experience many different situations where we apply our knowledge which gives us wisdom.
