    Is it possible to have 'enough' wisdom?

    As long as your definition of wisdom isn't your i.q. level, I think that there is an infinite amount of wisdom in the world. However, the real question is "How much time will you put into becoming wiser?" You're only on this plane of existance for a limited time, so have fun and help others. If wisdom can aid you in those pursuits, then learn what you need.

    for me, it would depend on how one defines "wisdom"

    i draw a distinction between a person's "intelligence" and a person's "wisdom"

    my intelligence gets me through math class, through language and science

    but it is my wisdom that helped with philosophy, with the social sciences and in that sense, i think one can never have enough for people are always making new dilemmas that need to be contemplated and debated
