THINK ABOUT IT

What determines who we are and why we are like that? Is it our past and the issues or problems we encountered as nothing more than young children? Or are our personalities and traits determined by a greater force and developed over time? It would be wise to choose the most logical answer, which would be that our traits, personalities and intellectual minds develop over time giving us more knowledge and thus creating us to be the wise. But what does it really take to be classified as wise? Do you have to reach a certain age?

Do you have to know almost everything there is to know about a common topic in everyday life? Or are you simply classified as Wise when people take the advice you give to them? No, none of that is wise. To be wise you have to live through the past, survive the present and dance through your future, because your life, which is your personality, your traits, your intellectual intelligence, etc, is more important than anything in the world. No amount of knowledge, wisedome, courage, money, etc can amount to the price of your own life.

To be honest, i think that our personalities, traits and intellectual intelligence is determined by the way we react to the issues we all face everyday and how well we accept what has, is and will happen. We control the direction of our lives, the chances we get and the choices we have to make by the reaction we have to certain things in life. There are the obvious reactions, like over reacting to a brake up or not reacting at all when a gun is pointed in your face, but there are the smaller reaction that can cause consequences, and sometimes, those consequences makes 'ripples' and as you know, ripples expand, so you see, the little reactions count too.

Life is uncontrolable yet we control it each and every day, we walk and we talk, we breathe, we eat, drink, use valuable resources...not only do we control our own lives, we control the lives of those around us.
