Against Wisdom

The biggest flaw for me about wisdom is that it can be written down. Like the saying "Take the path of least resistance" for instance. It's just a seductive sounding soundbite which sounds like it contains a solution.

But what about the opposite of what its saying? "No pain, no gain" is one way of saying resistance is a necessary part of making progress.

Or what about  "Nothing worthwhile in life is ever easy, and nothing easy in life is ever worthwhile"? Sounds so deep and spiritual, and the feeling of it chiming with us convinces us even more of its truth value.

So which one of them is true? Or if they are all true at different times, then what is it that enables you to know with confidence which one is right at the right time?

For me, wisdom never has the balls to choose. It only ever highlights the merits of the possible options in a way that sounds seductive and often times poetic. 

Knowing how to act and make decision in the present moment. That is where it's at! That shit's the real deal! That's the shit which cannot be written down. It is the unspoken, unwritten intuition that allows one to navigate through the seas of the present and never be capsized by treacherous waters because the answer is always there if you are prepared to throw away the crutch of wisdom with its wise words, sayings proverbs people brandish like holy relics to guard against the unnerving feelings the uncertainty of the present is instilling in them.
