The Frontier of Wisdom

Wisdom is defined in different ways by different people. To me wisdom, or to be wise, would have to mean having your intellect and your heart working at equal capacity. If you are a creature of pure heart you can do great things but not have the ability to do them with farsightedness, if you are a creature of pure mind you have the capacity to be cold and callous. Mind without heart is not wisdom. The heart working in collaboration with the head is the perfect balance and can help you to be a leader amongst humankind. Never would the wise allow themselves to be reactive to their own technology. Technology which changes the individual or collective soul for the worse must be reworked or scrapped in favor of technology which allows for the representation of the individual and collective goodness, which is absolutely sacrosanct. Some people are driven as the sun drives the shadows in front of it. For example, the cajun people have been driven, first from France, then from Acadia(Nova Scotia), now from the bayou(by the encroaching ocean). This is just one example of the many which could be cited. To be pushed by the societal establishment is not a fate of shame, it rather is the push of the bland, the unimaginative, upon the innovative to help the larger species to define the new frontier. To be truely wise would be for you and your posterity to always be, thusly having the most pride of any amongst a people, the ones who walk the line between the present and the future. Never teaching your children to be satisfied as the establishment is the act of a wise parent. Shame should be found in being less of a frontiersman than your parents. Always pushing the boundaries of the future with heart and mind is to be wise in this world beyond most mere mortals ability or dreams.
