A priest was travelling over a river. He was very knowledgeable and told the poor boatman that since he could not understand the scriptures half his life was gone.

Suddenly the boat started sinking so the boatman asked the priest:
 "Can you swim?"
 
Priest: "No"'
 
Boatman replied: "In that case all your life is gone"

We each would like to have more wisdom................................Today we need to re-discover for ourselves the wisdom that inspired so many of these traditions. And discover how to enliven that wisdom in ourselves.

That was a beautiful post khatarnak ji 👏

Then its happiness that is being sought through aesthetics 😊

Isn't that what you want ultimately in life: To be happy and lead a good life. In order to acheive the happiness, you need good aesthetic values.

Love is the most important thing in the world. A person that cannot love is to be pitied above all others, it's really sad. :(
 
Love is the best!👍🏼

What about a well developed personality?

Personality definition from the free dictionary.com :  The pattern of collective character, behavioral, temperamental, emotional, and mental traits of a person

Sometimes it is a chicken n egg situation.
Good qualities are important but some will argue that without wisdom we cannot understand the importance of good qualities.
Anyway it is all academic. But to my mind most important is 'goodness" , of course not "My Goodness ! "😉

I think that wisdom is also one part of a good personality. However, just knowing about things may not be enough. Apart from knowing what things to do, we should also know how to do things. That is why behaviour and emotional traits may be needed in addition to wisdom.

Wisdom is the end product of study n experience n generally it could be in a parlicular field.
