Mornin =)
Well, I think that comes when you stop worrying about how much knowledge of a thing you have and start experiencing what you've learned. Then it becomes wisdom. There are too many people who seem to think that knowledge/intelligence IS wisdom... certainly they go hand in hand, but they aren't the same thing.
Maybe this is why it seems like so many people lack common sense?

Well, no, I don't think so. There is no wisdom without some knowledge. Knowledge is a familiarity with the facts, gleaned from education, observation, or experience. Wisdom is the ability to apply that knowledge successfully to attain certain set goals, solve problems and avoid danger.
How can I successfully apply knowledge (wisdom) unless I first take in that knowledge?

If that was the case wouldn't we be the wisest we ever were 200 years ago? Are the people who thought the earth was flat wiser than the people who searched for more knowledge and found out it was round? I wouldn't want to go to a doctor who stopped seeking knowledge 40 years ago, or an auto mechanic.

I think that knowledge is something you find in a book. Wisdom is something that only life experiences can teach you.
Peace and Love back at ya! :)

Hmm, I like what the Bible says better (sorry):
"My son, if you will take my words to your heart, storing up my laws in your mind; so that your ear gives attention to wisdom, and your heart is turned to knowledge; truly, if you are crying out for good sense, and your request is for knowledge; If you are looking for her as for silver, and searching for her as for stored-up wealth; Then the fear of the Lord will be clear to you, and knowledge of God will be yours.
For the Lord gives wisdom; out of his mouth come knowledge and reason: He has salvation stored up for the upright, he is a breastplate to those in whom there is no evil; He keeps watch on the ways which are right, and takes care of those who have the fear of him. Then you will have knowledge of righteousness and right acting, and upright behaviour, even of every good way. For wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasing to your soul; wise purposes will be watching over you, and knowledge will keep you; giving you salvation from the evil man, from those whose words are false..."

Using your logic, we should be thrilled when kids drop out of high school. After all, they have stopped seeking knowledge, so in your book, that makes them wise.
Sorry, I don't buy it.

I think when obtaining knowledge stops being the driving force and you want to learn how that knowledge applies to life, you find wisdom.

I disagree. When you stop seeking knowledge, you stop growing as a person.

Nope, i believe that when you stop seeking knowledge, you stagnate.

Seeking is the idea that there is something needed for completion. Wisdom is the realization that one is complete and in need of nothing.
