RICHES AND WISDOM
RICHES AND WISDOM
Both wisdom and riches are wrought and sought by men.
Wisdom is universal and eternal . Riches are temporal and global.
Wisdom bequeaths iconic status. Riches deliver opulent iconic lives.
Ultimately the question of which one is better translates into which is preferable to whom when where why and how. Each may be at war with the opposition needlessly. For King Solomon had both riches and wisdom as did ancient Egyptians' pharaohs, whose works dazzle us.
Can each be the other? Can riches be wisdom and wisdom be riches?
