The Wisdom of the Fool

=====================================

Be happy when you know nothing,
since less worry will you keep in your mind...

If you don't know...
that every man will die when his time comes,
you will surely not afraid of the death...

If you don't know...
that there is a risk of falling if you keep climbing,
you will not be afraid of crashing to the ground...

If you never know about heaven and hell,
if you know not of good nor evil,
you will probably do anything without concern...
evil things without worry nor burden in your heart, or
good things without expecting the godly reward.

If you don't know...
that tomorrow won't be the end of the world,
you'll probably be able to enjoy your life today...
with nothing to worry for tomorrow...

If you don't know...
that all mentioned above is not wisdom
but just vast ignorance,
you'll probably be convinced that...
being foolish is better than growing up,
fooling around is better than learning,
and sleeping is better than staying awake...

About Wisdom

=================================== 
The fool asked the wise...
"What is wisdom?" he said.

The wise sighed and answered,
"It is what need to be done,
not what is fun to do...
It is what is right at the right time,
or what is right for all the time,
never what is right at the wrong time...
It is what you should always seek,
although it is not always what you find...
It is the sweetest thing you taste,
after you know what bitter is...
You will find it my brother,
if you know what happened yesterday,
what is happening right now,
and what will likely happen tomorrow..."

"How do I know it is wisdom that I find,
not just another foolery?"

"Time will tell you, my brother,
how wisdom is different from foolery...
As long as you keep your eyes open,
you'll see the mirth laughter
of our lovely wisdom,
although the grim shade of foolery
wrap its dark cloak tightly around...
As long as you are willing to open your eyes,
you will find it...
Believe me my brother,
you will find it..."

"But it seemed this wisdom never come,
whenever I need it..."

"Wisdom does not come to those who wait,
my dear brother,
it comes only to those who seek,
and those who keep their eyes opened,
and those who dare to hold it,
and embraced it tightly in their arm...
Do not hesitate my dear brother,
for it is better for us all
to embrace foolery by mistake,
rather than to risk ourselves
letting the beautiful wisdom go...
Because no one know, dear brother,
when it will come to visit us again..."
