I appreciate how information has become easily accessible because of the internet. It's interesting that shortly after I learned just a bit more about how the Alzheimer disease affects the brain, I develop more patience and sympathy with my mom.
Perspective matters a great deal. While growing up, I couldn't understand why mom acted a certain way. I have come to understand why she acted the way she did, and that changes the way I see a host of events.
If knowledge is gained through receiving bits and pieces of information, then insight would be about screening them and seeing them with the right perspective. And perhaps, when one has both knowledge and the right perspective, one is becoming wise.
