Wisdom not only gets, but once got, retains.

Wisdom not only gets, but once got, retains.

Summary

This quote suggests that wisdom is not only attained or acquired, but also it has the ability to be retained. Once we gain wisdom through experiences, knowledge, or lessons, it becomes ingrained in us, serving as a constant source of guidance and understanding. Unlike other things that may come and go, wisdom stays with us, shaping our decisions, perceptions, and actions in the future. It implies that wisdom has a lasting impact and is something we can carry with us throughout our lives.

I'm tired of all this isolation. I'm tired of this triviality of life. I want real human emotion. I want to feel the natural spontaneity of life, the beautiful randomness and rawness that is life. I want to see you and I want you to see me and I want to bask in that moment of humility and intimacy and the acknowledgement of your dignity and my humanity, even if it is for a second. That'll be enough.
