Karoline, I think that rarely do wisdom and education develop apace. 

Wisdom is one of those loaded words that can mean different things to different people, so can be used without narrowly defining it only by suffering the consequences.  So, I’ll define wisdom, for this purpose, as the application of knowledge to common, everyday life.  A harmony of head and hand.

Although not necessarily so, I would think that in most cases an education is prerequisite to wisdom.  Education trumps opinion, which is just another name for ignorance.  Opinion closes off the world.  But education, knowledge about things, looking at the worldly array from afar proves, at the end, disappointing.

At a certain level of education the veneer over the bankruptcy of mere knowledge thins.  Who suffers this grows a hunger to know of   things.  Moving from the distance where things can be examined dispassionately, scientifically, a person walks into the world, among things, to be one of  the things among many of the known world.  Letting the known world fulfill itself as a circumambient array.

An education’s true essence is that it’s always partial.  A creative act of history and individual.  The stance of being of the world is the only way to transcend the inherent void in knowledge about and live authentically in a world that resists knowing.

After knowing in order to live, one must learn to suffer through the abyss of knowing about, and, having learned the pre-requisites, begin the master course of learning how to make an un-examined life the right life.
