This could be a wise question already, as it leads up to the third level in the pursuits of the mind. The fact is that almost all people are addicted to information – factual or eventual knowledge of things, people and affairs. We all like to know what is going on around us all the time, which we would like to be the first to know. And as if this were not enough, we like to remember it all so that we may feel well informed – information is power after all.

Then, there are the ones who are more intellectual minded, the ones who relish in the pursuit of pure and elaborate knowledge – the critical and analytical information about things, people, and affairs. The one who think that knowing is virtue and knowledge is the zenith of all human achievement. We take great pride in us being knowledgeable. We endure greater pains in gaining knowledge about things that interest us. Knowledge after all is light for our intelligence, and indeed can prove to be true blessing. Knowledge bring with it wisdom, prestige and refinement.

The wisdom on the other hand is not merely an objective of our curious minds always searching. It is the need of our entire being, need of our heart and mind, and their function as a whole. Where information is to do with the affairs of the world, knowledge with the nature of things, wisdom, I my opinion, is to do with our interaction with the world. When we interact with the world around we need to be able to use information and apply all that we know wisely. Wisdom, therefore, is essentially linked to our experiences – things we do, thoughts we think, and choices we make.

As philosophy is known to the love of wisdom, then if we love wisdom then we would also seek to act wisely in life. If we agree that wisdom is not only an intellectual or academic pursuit it also has a practical use in our life then we would consider our experiences critically. We would then seek the best possible ways to deal with practical situations. After all wisdom alone can make us comfortable, happy and save in life. In order to become a wisdom junkie we, therefore, need to be addicted to excellence in performance in life.

By learning to assimilate all the info & knowledge into a coherence that coincides with yr intuition.
By learning to discard the useless junk that does not fit in irrespective of the source.
By keeping yr mind open , being humble & staying away from the mistake of thinking that wisdom has been achieved.

If you learn form your mistakes. If you learn from other peoples experiences. If you heed others warnings. Then you will be well on your way to becoming a wisdom junkie.

Well first of all, you have to dress like Yoda, then talk like Yoda and eventually people will come. But be aware of the force.

The only way to be a Wisdom junkie, is to predict what is due to happen, but to die, before it does.

I heard this really cool illustration not long ago:

KNOWLEDGE- you are standing on train tracks, a train is coming.
DISCERNMENT- the train will be where you are standing.
WISDOM-getting off the tracks.
just running away isn't wisdom, you have to run the right way. wisdom is knowing what to do with the knowledge you have.

Information is not knowledge, knowledge is not knowing, knowing is not understanding, understanding is not wisdom, wisdom is knowing that all of the above is true.

ery beautiful question..Wisdom does not learn with the life, the experiment, and the pain.. This drug detaches your spirit of the material things.. In general it's after long years of asceticism which one becomes one "doped of wisdom"..

Information is what is out there to discover
Knowledge is the learning of that information
Wisdom is the use of that knowledge
