knowledge vs. Wisdom

Knowledge and wisdom are two forms of learning. Knowledge, on one hand, is information or experience that we know is true because of evidence or means of justification. Wisdom on the other hand is being able to differentiate right from wrong through past experiences or understandings. Wisdom is also acquiring a wide range of knowledge altogether. Although they are both forms of receiving and understanding information, it does not mean that just because someone has knowledge they also have wisdom. In college, I believe that we acquire knowledge everyday, but wisdom takes time and thought to attain. By the end of someone’s college experience, I would say that they could then give some wisdom back to someone that needed it. The conclusion of Understanding something and fully experiencing something permits someone to understand and attain wisdom. The information age that we live in today has definitely made us more knowledgeable, but I do not believe it has made all of us any wiser. Sometimes people do not understand that not all knowledge should be taken advantage of. People tend to forget about virtues and differences between right and wrong.
