Everyone is born with knowledge, it's how they use it that makes it wisdom.

    Most of us are born with the ability and desire to learn and acquire knowledge through our experiences. If we're lucky, we turn out all right.

    We are not born with knowledge, we acquire it through learning. The only think we are born with is the urge to suckle and cry when startled.

    That is not at all true. We are born with basic instinct, like crying because we our tummies hurt, or because we have gas. We KNOW absolutely NOTHING. Knowledge comes from paying attention, reading, listening, comparing one thing to another, and retaining what you learn. Some people spend 16 or more years in school, and never learn a thing - they just go through the motions and do what they need to do to pass.

    Wisdom is knowing, but having the sense to know when to properly apply what you know. For example - I know how to rebuild a car engine. That doesn't make me wise because I know how, it only makes me wise when I use my knowledge to do it right. There is an old saying "You have to know when to hold them, and know when to fold them". Like when playing poker. THAT is wisdom. THAT requires EXPERIENCE.

    I disagree. No one is borne with anything. In fact, all children are borne atheists until adults begin their brainwashing with ideas of gods. MK 2006

    Interesting Idea I do have a question. Why do Humans need to be educated?

    Well, you clearly haven't acquired much since birth so I can see why you might be confused.

    Actually I have, with a 4.5 GPA I have a right to be bragging. (that includes IB, AP, and dual enrollment classes)
