totallytopside: A man may be wise in respect to one thing and a fool in respect to another.
Indeed!!! I think it was Scott "Dilbert" Adams who said "We are all stupid about different things at different times"..... I believe this to be true.
Many a time I have wondered about the logic someone has applied to a situation, knowing I would have dealt with it differently and, yet, I must realise that there will be times when I deal with something inappropriately and someone else may have nailed it.....!! None of us are perfect, momentarily lose or lack judgement and that is why we need the contribution of others and their brains?? No man is an island..... knowing that is, to some degree, wisdom, isn't it??
Fab post!!!

Michael McDonald: What a Fool Believes
But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending him...
Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe theres a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return

Detente: Is it as simple as that? Do we naturally accumulate wisdom as the years pass us by, or are some amongst us, regardless of age, just a little more switched on?
And by wisdom, I'm thinking the ability to apply knowledge gained to better ourselves and others. I believe wisdom isn't just knowledge in itself.
Are all young people naive, and older folk wise by definition as some seem to suggest?
Oh, and you're all responsible for your own conduct on this here thread. I take no responsibility for any ensuing battles.
Fire away folks!

There is nothing natural about wisdom.
If you work hard and pay attention you just might meet someone who has some.
They are the ones who sit quietly on the sidelines and watch the rest of us get our knickers in a twist over...pretty much anything.
I think it is probably easier to act wisely with some experience under your belt. There are those who seem to know the right thing to do instinctively. But they are not always wise, just intuitive.

I disagree...
Intuition and wisdom are indeed connected.
If you have a deep understanding for our world, our paradigms, our desires, biological drifts and if your perception has a sharp radar, then intuitively doing the wise thing comes with knowledge, understanding, heightened awareness, and being in touch with yourself, other energies that belong to other people as well as the universe in a spiritual and cosmic sense.

I have been in and out, my sleep patterns have changed on me of late!
I never feel wise, but thank you.

I understand your point, but it comes down to how you define wisdom and intuition.
Within the parameters of this discussion, Bajan makes a fair and accurate distinction.
If you choose to define differently, so be it!

Wisdom is having gained knowledge, experience, and intuitive understanding, along with a capacity to apply these qualities well. It is the judicious application of knowledge. To some extent the terms wisdom and intelligence have similar and overlapping meanings.
Intuition has many related meanings, usually connected to the meaning "ability to sense or know immediately without reasoning"
sounds like wisdom and intuition walk hand and hand to me

Certainly there is a connection.
But I do not believe every intuitive moment arises from wisdom, although i suspect there is a wide streak of intuition in every wise moment.

Intuition is apparent ability to acquire knowledge without a clear inference or reasoning process. Intuition, by definition, has no objective validity. So with that said...I stand by my application for confirmation. If you are talking about intuitively not going somewhere because you sense something, then that is a discussion regarding our sixth sense (esp).
In psychology, intuition can encompass the ability to know valid solutions to problems and decision making. That comes with wisdom....
She should have given more examples to put it in the crystal clear.

That's the plan, with age, but for some, you could bag wisdom up for them and put it in their hand and they still could not carry it.

Agreed
some are as dumb as an out of date nothing 
Mentioned it in another post, My Business Org Teacher (Ma Rice
) always said 2 things: Both attributed to Her...1) If I could bottle common sense, I'd make a fortune!
2) You cannot chew meat and whistle at the same time.
