After breakfast, I made questions for the upcoming speaking club. Then I began to read some quotes about wisdom, searching for relevant information on youtube. There were many songs which I found quite remarkable. I think, I’m gonna learn these songs the same way as I’ve learned poems.
The second part of the day, I had a call form X, who invited me to go out for a picnic. I accepted his invitation and spent a couple of hours with him and Y at the lake 30 km from Kaluga. I had a sort of reflective mood, being silent for the most part until, on the way back home, X tempted me to talk about wisdom. We exchanged a few words on the subject. It seems that almost no one can see that such concepts like wisdom, freedom, happiness, etc. are the concepts which require a lot of thinking before they can be properly understood. If one thinks about wisdom for a couple of months or even years, it does not guarantee that he’ll be able to get all the nuances, not saying anything about days or weeks. Of course, there is a kind of conventional wisdom which one can get very quickly, but the idea of wisdom, as long as it conquers our minds, may reveal such profound knowledge of itself that it’s fair to say: the more we are preoccupied with wisdom, the wiser we become.
