“From listening comes wisdom and from speaking, repentance.” – Jewish proverb

I really found this quote interesting. Fun Fact I always wanted to be Jewish because I wanted to be more invested into the holidays that are associated within that culture of Judaism. This quote reminds me of my mother a lot. I always felt as though she never listened to me and I feel like now that is the main thing I want to for other people. I remember being in Catholic school and going to confession with the priest. Giving the repentance of the sins, that you have made throughout the time from your last confession. Wisdom for me comes with not just age but experience. I think I am wiser from all the stuff I have been through in my life. My life hasn’t been easy but I have learned from my mistakes and try not to repeat. I speak only on the things I have experienced within an advice ratio not telling people what to do. At the end of the day you can only do what you can do.

“Wisdom begins in wonder” – Socrates

Wisdom is something that cannot be measured. Wisdom is something that is individually obtained. Everyone has a certain extent of curiosity that acquires you to venture and try new things. This gives off the wonders that the world has to offer. The further you extend your knowledge, you can gain answers to the unknown of life. Many inventors and scientist have gain insight by just having questions and wondering. This gives us the world we have today but the technology that has been built for us. This not being possible if these individuals didn’t try and try again from pure wonder.

“All religions are the therapies for the sorrows and disorders of the soul.” -Carl Jung

As a person who is more spiritual than I am religious I absolutely love this quote. I really believe that everyone needs something to believe in. All religion should be respected no matter what it is. Religion is the one thing that everyone runs to in a time of need. When bad times happen and they are out of human control people count on their religion to guide them out of things and in brings a universal comfort that is felt around the world. Unfortunately this isn’t respected around the world and people will fight about their religion and thinking one is more superior than the other. With lent coming I think about religion more and more. (Lent is the 40 day period between Mardi Gras and Easter) I practice certain traditional catholic practices. This is quote that I find I am more passionate about because of the importance it is to have something to hold onto in this crazy world.
