-Sir Francis Bacon
I have been inspired by this quote in such a way that I believe it could be applied to The White Hairs. Let us not forget that not only does knowledge and wisdom come from age (or white hairs), but it most definitely comes through experience. Life is nothing more than just experiences and events strung in a certain order. The real reason wisdom seems to come through age is that when you grow old, you have lived through many life experiences. Young people, including you and me, should strive for wisdom continuously so we may have the knowledge and power of our older brethren. Wisdom = Knowledge = Power. Though wisdom is a critical tool in our toolbox of greatness, I believe that it could be difficult to "measure" wisdom. For example, knowledge could be based on an amount of factoids and information stored inside your precious brain. But wisdom, however, can only be based on a level system. There are points throughout your life that you can acquire wisdom, usually following a traumatic event or time in your life. That is why wisdom does not necessarily only come with age. I propose an idea for the wonderful authors and contributors to The White Hairs. If my theory is correct about wisdom, I believe that we should blog about important events or happenings in our daily lives. This is so we can share the wisdom gained with everyone. Share your happy times, sad times, stressful times, problems you are going through, pleads for advice, and other important events. This is my challenge to you; nevertheless, continue with the other posts because they are also beautiful and fine pieces of art. Long live The White Hairs!
