“Wisdom is deep understanding and practical skill in the
central issues of life, especially existential and spiritual issues.
Existential
issues are those crucial and universal concerns all of us face simply because
we are human. They include finding meaning and purpose in our lives; managing
relationships and aloneness; acknowledging our limits and smallness in a
universe vast beyond comprehension; living in inevitable uncertainty and
mystery; and dealing with sickness, suffering, and death. A person who has
developed deep insights into these issues – and skills for dealing with them –
is wise indeed.”
