Contemplations

Of all my knowledge I'm not about to throw my knowledge away.

What I have is folk wisdom, that automatically means the wisdom of the common people.

This folk wisdom involves worldly wisdom, like reading up on nations before ever getting there, studying the history, the brands and why your phone's credit won't last long in foreign countries, that's because it's under another mobile phone company and it's foolish to expect Telstra in Moldova when the credit is from another company.

It's the wise who have a million dollars before having a one-way ticket to live overseas, have the right VISA and become a citizen.

They will tell you they didn't have a million dollars, that's nonsense, you won't last three months without a million dollars.

And furthermore my contemplation involves everyday tasks like when to always wash my hands, brush my teeth, clean my room, mop the floor, wake up on time, go to bed, have a shower, eat my breakfast and read the daily paper.

The average man from the 19th century to today is wiser than the man who starts trouble and martyrs himself, as is the case in Hegel's day, little does anyone realise that wisdom comes from lots of study in philosophy and having knowledge, so the Hegelian who knows how to act normally is undoubtedly wise.

People overlook this and think that wisdom has to necessarily be an anti-normal behaviour, when there's folk wisdom for a reason, and it comes from philosophy.
