Aug 10 at 18:25 comment added Jo Wehler @mudskipper I completely agree with you: IMO wise people recognize and accept their limits and boundaries. They try to discriminate between what they can change and what is beyond.
Aug 10 at 18:18 comment added mudskipper Btw - my comment about failure was not meant to highlight the possibility of cognitive error, my question was rather whether wisdom doesn't also have emotional aspects - the emotional maturity to accept uncertainty/lack of knowledge/possible failure for instance.
Aug 10 at 17:24 comment added Jo Wehler @mudskipper Of course, also wise people make errors, but the bigger ones not a second time. Because wise people learn from their errors and failures. - Concerning the degree of moral courage I am still undecided.
Aug 10 at 17:07 comment added mudskipper Don't you think that wisom also has a moral aspect (the courage required to ask "stupid" questions for instance)? And that it requires a measure of acceptance of failure and uncertainty? Is a wise person simply somebody who always makes wise/smart decisions - or more than that?
