Day 3148: June 29, 2021

Prompt: All human wisdom is summed up in two words; wait and hope. Alexandre Dumas
What do you think?

How about the two words, common sense? Wait. That is only wisdom when you know how to use it. Lol I think wisdom is knowing what to do with the knowledge and information you currently have. It is being able to learn new things and the ability to apply it to real life situations. That is what I think.

Wisdom isn’t always waiting and hoping. Sometimes wisdom is also taking action at the right time appropriately. We can wait and hope for things that will not happen. That may not exactly be wise. Wisdom is knowing when to wait and hope and when to take action to make things happen.

Come My Love Eternal  (E) Ageless, Eternal Love, and our surety in Christ #1576388 by InkWellspring66

. Do you believe love is eternal and destined? If so, why do most people find their true love in their hometown?

Wow! That was an awesome poem. I was a bit surprised to see the Biblical quotes at the bottom. This sounds to me like someone who may believe in reincarnation, the poem itself that is. I certainly did not expect the biblical twist. These are interesting thoughts, however.

I do believe in soulmates. I don't believe we are eternal like God. We were created. We have a beginning. However, I do believe that our souls can live eternally from here on out. Man did not become a living soul until God breathed the breath of life into him.

If love was destined, why do we sometimes get it wrong? Why do we sometimes fall in love with someone who doesn't love us back the same way?

“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.” Terry Pratchett
What do you think this quote is about, and should we hide the fact that we have open minds; that is. if we think we have open minds?

I don't think it is wrong to be or let people know you are open-minded. You do have to make sure you have a filter in place though so the dirt doesn't get through.
