And then there is that person who just makes you feel good for being yourself.
Does not education and wealth pale in comparrison to such special gifts?

Indeedy they do. I'll tell you though, TTC, being profound, wise and witty has it's downfalls. ;-) Seems I lose an account every other week since I've gotten myself some reporting trolls.
So many here bring me happiness, make me think and make me laugh. I am beyond grateful to them. I would NEVER eat their arms off!

Neither education nor wealth are incompatible with such gifts. In fact, education at least is very conducive to the sort of wisdom to which you refer. I said "education," not "schooling." The difference is what makes it wisdom and not simply information or even knowledge.
I also think wealth is conducive, but for a different reason. It permits sufficient free time for study, contemplation, meditation and conversation. All are important to the development of wisdom.

Yes, education and wealth pales in comparison... exactly right. The kind of wisdom you speak of comes from within and in my opinion that "charisma" is related to the "treasure hidden in a field" that Jesus was speaking about.
But since that Original Kingdom Gospel has been replaced with Paul's gospel of sacrifice for sin... we are unlikely to see that kind of gift to come from those who promote Pauline doctrines over the Original Kingdom Gospel.
But that does not mean that it cannot pop up somewhere else.

Most people who don't have education don't have much profound wisdom either. They think they do, until they get educated and find out just how wrong they've been.

Nothing compares to the feeling you get when you feel that another person is coming from the heart and not the head. Kinda like a newborn baby.

I donno. I've always waxed reather eloquently in literary form, yet when it come to verbal speech I find myself very lacking. Still, I've managed on about five occasions to have my listeners tell me, 'I feel like I've learned so much. I've never felt this alive before." That, assuredly, has to count for something. Of course, you give credit to the creator of our magnificent universe...for once again, I did not create this universe, I just learn about it and speak of what I Know. ;)

there is room in this world for all of those people
and each and every one of them needed
that includes the educated and the wealthy ( if the wealth is treated with respect )

Eternal salvation is more important in the long run than wordily laughter.

They sure do. Those are the people you always love to have around. They change lives.
