essay on wisdom of heart and mind
Answers
There is Wisdom of Head, and a Wisdom of the Heart
Wisdom is the highest level of intellectual maturity or intelligence that man’s mind can reach. Wisdom in all cultures has been described as the ultimate goal for human beings. Scriptures of the world talk of wisdom and how it can be achieved. Acquisition of wisdom is not an easy task. Wisdom of the head as well as wisdom of the heart are most sought after rarities in the world. Both types of wisdom can be likened to divine maturity that is gained after lots of experience. The wisdom of the head can be likened to super intelligence, whereas the wisdom of the heart can be likened to super emotional intelligence guided by intuition. We cannot say which wisdom is better? Wisdom is ultimate possession; either of the two types is sufficient to make the possessor contented and successful.
When God asked Solomon what blessings He should shower on him, Solomon supplicated, “Give me wisdom and knowledge.” He is considered the wisest of kings of all times. If the wisest king asked wisdom from God, there must be something unique about wisdom. Wisdom is the magic lamp of Aladdin. If you have it, you have everything. Wisdom actually is the ability to stay positive even in the most negative situations. If you have wisdom, you can achieve anything in life.
Success is a highly elusive thing! But those with right efforts, right thoughts, and right action catch the ever elusive snitch-like( Harry Potter's Quidditch winning ball) golden ball of success. So one must not aim for success, rather one must aim for acquiring the right thoughts. Once thoughts are right, action and efforts automatically align themselves accordingly. This is not a simple process! One really has to work very hard to get the grail of wisdom. One must read a lot of books full of wisdom. There is no dearth of such books. Actually beginning to read books is the beginning of wisdom. Books actually are nothing but the recorded thoughts and experience of great wise men. So when we read a book, we actually read the thoughts and arduously collected life experiences. Once the thoughts become wise through reading, introspection, pondering, and reflection, one's actions become wiser; and success for a truly wise man is a cinch.
Confucius, a great Chinese philosopher and teacher wisely said “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”
WISDOM OF HEART VS WISDOM OF MIND.
First of all actually what these two things are. Obviously these are the wisdoms which gets enriched from two different places i.e., mind and heart.
What's wisdom of heart ?
The thing which we think from our heart is known as wisdom of heart. The advantage of this is people think positively in each case. They don't like to point out the negative things and instead will work upon the positive side.
More importantly, our heart gives us a feeling of self consciousness which always deals with emotions and feelings. Through this we start connecting to the situation in which others are.
Now, what's wisdom of mind ?
Wisdom of mind is enriched with the self awareness. When we are fully aware of ourself then we start thinking from mind. It's the thing which let us decide every decision and even will think about both the sides i.e., negativity and positivity.
The thoughts of our mind is called the building block of one's life. It could make one's life, also it let people know about themself and even others.
We get aware of the people who they actually are. We see the real side of them which helps us to get knowledge of a true friend or person.
Perhaps both have their own advantage and disadvantage. Suppose if someone tells about his/her disability.
Our heart will be like, very bad thing happened with the person. May god bless him and so on.
While our mind will be like, he must be showing off and trying to gain sympathy. Or maybe he want to let people know her pain and that's why he is telling.
Both situation are different, maybe heart could get cheated on or our mind maybe wrong. Whatever the situation is one will suffer. But most of the time heart suffers since it's used to off giving sympathy and taking care of people.
But whatever the case it is as we know love or heart succeed so it's the wisdom of mind which wins soulfully.
Thanks !!.
