Wisdom Is Not

the parsing or division of statements
into perceived questions and answers
to extract the impression of a dialogue
from within a statement by speaker,
or some ancient writings,
translated into modern form.

Though extracting questions and answers
from any statement will help reduce
the fog of popular miscommunications.

Wisdom is knowing when to stop,
whether it is stopping speaking, yourself,
or listening and analysing what other people say,
and stopping doing futile tasks set up in bad faith.

Wisdom lives in the silence, when all is noise
and the noise is too much for anyone to be going on with.
