    Big wisdom is big consciousness yourself. Or it pleonasm.

    Wisdom is simply the admittance of not knowing everything; accepting life for what is with clarity. Something that can only be acquired through one's experiences. A wise mind is knowledgeable, flexible and clear as the rivers coming down mountains fluidly. Through the struggles and prosperity of our metaphysical existence lies its potential in us all. Wisdom in some respects brings sense of peace and contentment in the moment regardless of what happens. The acquirement of wisdom shouldn't be demanded nor rushed; something that should come when one is ready to handle it when the time comes. Wisdom has no definite age requirement; for some it may be acquired when their young or for others it may be a long process; neither are better nor worse, simply a continual procession of one's cognitive growth.

    The problem with wisdom is that by the time you have attained it it's too late to use it, and no one will listen to you when you give it.

    Wisdom comes from experience. Experience comes from mistakes. Wisdom is never repeating the same mistake.
    Wisdom is knowing what to question and what not - recognizing manipulations.
    Wisdom means knowing who to trust and when, but trusting firstly yourself.
    Knowing how to get advantage even when you are in bad position.
    Wisdom can often also mean not losing control over your emotions and thinking/acting logically and rationally.
    Being able to open your mind for a different view (as Metallica sing in "Nothing Else Matters") is also wisdom, but you need to be really wise to know when to do this and when not.
