Wisdom Matters!

Wisdom matters! Two words that summarize all the Universe: Wisdom and Matter…

Science tells us that what we know as matter is only 4% of the Universe… What about the 96%? Responding to this question is the beginning of Wisdom…

What is the Essence of our Existence as the mankind species in all this? Is it for dominating each other with «Supremacy»? Is it for wasting our very ephemeral existence in destroying others’ people dreams, projects and lives? For what Purpose?

Let put things in perspective! Let take all of the wealth of all of empires that have existed on this Earth since we know the beginning of History of the Human Civilization… Let put together all of the power of destruction from such empires… All of that is like a grain of the sand in the sea water in comparison to the abysses of the Universe…

When you are aware of such insignificance of the mankind action in the Universe; you become Wise… You become Humble in knowing that you don’t know…

Wisdom is the Path that makes us aware of the Need to shape a Sense of Purpose of our individual and collective Existence… It makes us understand that year after year, our actions should not be just like empty vanities of the vanity from the absurdity of emptiness…

It is only when we lose the Sense of Purpose of our individual and collective Existence that our actions become part of the vanities of vanity; that idiocy of «Supremacy», destruction of others’ people Dreams, projects and lives can give us satisfaction and illusion of power… That is the leitmotiv of all of misery of the mankind nature…

Look at the sky! The God Sun just reminds us how finite and powerless we are face to abysses of the Universe… The only Hope we have is to Believe that there should be a Meaning beyond our finiteness in front of such Transcendance and Immanence of the Infinity of the Universe…

Wisdom Matters! Let be Humble… Humility is not not Humiliation… Wisdom begins when we recognize that evidence: we know that we don’t know… If we have such Humility, our Existence becomes part of the Universe Experience, from the shaping of our individual lives to the making of human society fabric… The opposite is what brings destruction and makes our action ephemeral…

Let put things in perspective… We are all mortals on this planet… Let be Wise; wasting time in destroying others’ people dreams, projects and lives is the stupidest thing…

«We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.»

Whenever an individual or entity forgets this Foundational Principle in destroying others’ people Unalienable Rights; no doubt, there are consequences from the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God…

Nobody really knows whether or not Science is right in predicting the outcome of the end of the Universe… What is sure is the factual evidence that this Universe has Laws that we mankind are not enough powerful to confront…

Look at the sky; if you can watch the solar eclipse, just remember how fragile we are… Turn the wounds from your enemies in Wisdom to better yourself and defeat their bigotry; not in hatred to become like them…
