Answer 1

If your talking about something trivial (like a video game or outfit), it's wisdom (there are more important things in life). If it's something you feel passionate about or has personal meaning, it's giving up. Some things are worth fighting for against all obstacles. Even when you don't think you made and progress or achievement, in actuality, you have. (Like for a person with a behavior, learning or physical disability -- sometimes your support is what keeps them going mentally and emotionally - something that can't be measured). And there are some things you just never give up on like faith, hope, dreams, beliefs, morals and values (even if you feel like you're all alone). For these things, to not bother is worse than failure.

That's a hard one. In 1952 I found a baby boy placed in a
pillowcase head first and abandoned in a Chicago's North
side ally. I was able to learn latter that he was named
Gregory Huff by the St Vincents Orphanage. Off and on for
past 35 years I have tried to find him or find out how he is
doing. It was a warm day for that time of a year. I remember
that he couldn't have been there very long as the blood was
still wet in places. No I wont "give up" hoping. As long as
there is life, there is hope even if at times it seems out of
sight. Its not a bother to just put some things on the back
burner sometimes and check on it from time to time.
Keeping ourselves open to the fact that out there somewhere
is what or who we are looking for and it can still happen.
Wisdom to me is when we are still hanging in but - without
white knuckles - Good luck to you

I think giving up is excusable if you've already tried your best. Give up when there is no longer a possibility of achieving what you want. Also, giving up on something may be due to a shift of goals, and in there comes the wisdom part. Changing the things you aim for should take careful consideration, depending on its context=) Weigh things out. Give up reasonably, and not on everything. Don't make it a habit.

Answer 4

Giving up is an action -- that's all. Yet 'giving up' in itself should not be construed as indication of weakness or impropriety.

Depending on the context in which the action is placed or occurs and how you carried yourself through it all is certainly the better determinant, which intent may be suggestive of a folly or demonstration of wisdom to those outside of you. Is it so to you? is the prime question and concern..

The stopping or continuing should be held important only to the participant of the action and not be the concern of anyone outside of him- or herself unless of course by his or her action the other person's personal rights have been interferred with.

One may continue one's search and fight for something as long as he or she wishes or feels need to. If one then ceases one's search and fight, this should be only because he or she no longer has the need to: he or she will have fulfilled of all the lessons needing learned, he or she knows that this has been done so certifiably within him- or herself and now can move on to still other greater expansions and growth.

In conclusion, what one makes of it, what mettle has developed by it all, amid all the circumstances that arised, is what imports, without which awakening you would behold that Truth has quit you -- you will not have quit Truth.

Dear

It all depends on what some one is trying for, what is his Objective and Goal is?

If it is illigitimate it is better to abandon it and at the earliest.

If the objective is beyond some one's capacity and reach, it should not have been taken up at first and it is again recommended to abandon it unless some help is sought from others to achieve it.

If the task is well with in some one's capacity and Reach and it is beneficial and necessary then it should not be abandoned and a person has to keep trying earnestly.

Answer 6

It is giving up of what he had fight and search for in ab initio wisdom must be one of a continuing process. Wisdom must be the best weapon a person to keep you going to attain the best results. Remember the wisest men keep on making inquiries and research to reach the penultimate ultimate of results.

Answer 7

Sometimes the search is exhausted and nothing more can be done but wait and be patient.Fighting
for a cause depending on what is can be very rewarding.Especially if there is a victory.It must be a worthy one though not petty.

Answer 8

Some things in life are worth defending to the death. Freedom is worth searching and fighting for. Is it wisdom to give up your freedom?

My first wife left and took my son with her in 1978. I never gave up looking and finally found him in 2005.

Answer 9

Unless it was much too important, it sounds like wise giving up.... although a bit late in the day because it was unwise in the first place to pursue it. Real wisdom begins with choosing the right objectives to pursue and hence not ending up in giving up.

Answer 10

when someone searching and fighting for something lets go of his desire, just stops going for it, then that's giving up. but if he knows the worth of what he's fighting for, and in the end chooses to let it go, that's wisdom. knowing for certain that some things are not meant for you, but at least you tried fighting for it. it adds up to your knowledge. =)
