    Define wisdom, decide where and what path is a stray one.

    Remember You are the force. You are the One choosing and thinking and feeling and believing.

    It seems human nature tends to prefer to see an outside source of some great power and sway, to have some unseen abilities. How quickly we forget "created in the image of"...how easily it goes out the window when things don't seem to be what we wanted or expected.

    Lo and Behold....this great force will not do for you that which you will not do for yourself.

    Free will rules.

    Wisdom is the practice of observation and experiences of failure and success. All paths lead to wisdom. You choose your path the force just gives you options. The easy way or the hard way. All paths of the force uses.

    i believe it has something to it. because that force is a thing by it self, and one need to also understand it, to not be lead astray by it.

    edit: death is a new beggining, our lives are proof of that (took me time to come up with an answer that satisfied me).

    edit: this actualy means death and life are connected, death is what brings meaning to life...

    No.

    Wisdom is a singular approach, beyond ego.

    It is ego which leads us astray.

    Yes. The difference lie in how you perceive it and use it.

    PS: When you know the true meaning of life, you will know what death is.

    Yes Architect, we outsmart ourselves. Our superior intellect is a double edged sword.

    if the force is desire, then yes. desire to attain knowledge and desire to do just anything are only two different processes of a force - desire
