"Besides, I know you want me."

The Dresden Dolls - [Half Jack]--- Thinking about stuff i've done, recently. All of my dreams have been of traveling, or orchestrating events, and gatherings, with mech_angel. Meaning that we were orchestrating them, or driving places, together. Or, we've been In places, and had to cause some things to happen, or things along that line.

There's... more assurance, in me, now, and i'm pretty sure that comes from finally having a job, and therefore a further measure of control, in my own life. I don't mean assurance as in "What i do is right," so much as "I know what to Do." Because that was elluding me, before. I wasn't wrapping my hands and my head around certain things, there were cetain goals that looked like they'd never come to fruition, and now i see that that's simply not true. They will. And i can see how to get there. There were things discussed, in my ethics class, about what it means to be a wise individual.

According to some, wisdm is seen as knowing what you want and need, to make you happy, and knowing how to get it. (The Dresden Dolls - [672]). I don't think that that counts for wisdom, so much as it counts for good planning, on the part of the individual. Wisdom, to me, is being able to understand the situations of yourself and others, be sympathetic, and able to relate to anyone, on their level, because you know enough of them (and their situation), to be able to do that. (The Dresden Dolls - [Coin-Operated Day]). I also think that people count wisdom as their own personal ideals.

People want, in wisdom, that which they would like to be able to display, ultimately. That which they would consider wise. Subjective. As i ranted and railed, at a bunch of people, last night, it is ultimately not a matter what you choose, or from which options you choose, but that you choose. Otherwise, you'll never understand what's i'mportant to you. And once you've begun the path of choosing, choose in a manner that continually makes you "happy," or whatever you perceive as the highest good (gotta choose that, first). And there you have integrity.

Slightly modified Sartre.

The Dresden Dolls - [Gravity]--- That said, i have work, today, and i'm going to be taking some things, on and with which to write. I've a story i've been neglecting, and i need to rectify that.

I'll talk to you all later.

Wisdom, to me, iss seeing what is going on as deeply as possible, then being able to maneuver through all of that. (And I didn't intend the hissing, but I'll keep it..)

And I think it's getting time for another good, concentrated Push on Existence, for the both of us.

Yeah, i'll count that as part of it. Wisdom, i think, is contextual... Being able to do the apt thing, for any given situation... Which would include all of those things...

And yeah. I defiantely agree. ;)
