Wisdom is not a thing etched into stone, it is like a current of wind. The wind finds the easiet path to follow when it blows through the trees, be as that is, one may liken wisdom to the wind. It billows and stirs, lightly caressing the faces of those whom feel it's gentle touch. Or it whips and tears, heaving those at its mercy off their feet and into harms way.

Wind is at the mercy of nature; and like so, wisdom changes to follow the times.

sounds like a much shittier worded version of Sun Tzu's

-the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting
supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting-

I'd rather not bloody up wisdom with war strategy from the premise of winning but in the end wisdom is individual perception of self and others like most other things and a pretty meaningless conversation to have

So the art is really to focus on world peace at all times, keep people collected and together. That is what i try to do.

But when war is thrown at you, it's hard to stay peaceful. Some times, aggressive acts can be a strategy to get authorities' attention when they are placid and lazy.
