Wisdom, Good, and Evil; The Necessities of Life
Wisdom based on knowledge of good and evil is a very powerful concept. Without wisdom, people would base life with no sense of right and wrong. Society values smart people who make good decisions and frowns upon people that do badly towards others. Therefor understanding the role of wisdom in the human experience is to comprehend how to live life according to acceptable social norms and constructs.
Humans are not born with wisdom; one must discover it for his or herself. Wisdom is gained through good and bad experiences. Without good and bad, life would be in a state of confusion. Good and evil is innately a part of human nature. They are also interrelated and interdependent of one another. Wisdom is an important quality to have in life because it seeks to understand ambiguity. I think that it’s very important to have knowledge of both good and evil because if one did not know of evils element, then one could not do good without knowing what bad is. First, life without wisdom, good, and evil is an improbability because they are part of human nature. Throughout time, society has seen manifestations of evil such as the Nazi party and Adolf Hitler, where millions were killed as the result of evil intentions. The word evil can have many different meanings; such as being morally bad or wrong or causing undo pain or injury to another person. Evil can also take form in a military force, power, or dictator like personas. Unfortunately, experiencing evil first hand, allows one to understand it better. To witness evil and watch it takeover is a tragedy. Sometimes you just want to give up, but the good prevents that from happening. It is like yin and yang, evil balances out the good in this world. I am not trying to glorify evilness, but there is always some evil in everybody and therefor one must understand the role of evil in life so society can produce better people. Second,
