Knowledge And Wisdom

The trick to dealing with less enlightened mortals is to share just enough wisdom to quit amazing them and begin confusing them. Only then can they begin to consider things beyond what they think they know.

After living through enough incarnations, you quit losing knowledge, though no wisdom is lost. Strange as it may seem, the wisdom can and does carry over. Hard to quantify, wisdom, but it does lend clarity to thought where logical intellectual thinking doesn't always work out. Guess losing memories in the form of lost knowledge isn't entirely bad, since knowledge tends to burden more than it enlightens. After all, what one thinks one knows may restrict what one thinks one can do.
