Sure, love and kindness is wisdom. It seems to grow organically out of education somehow. To be honest I have no theory on that one though. I remain perplexed about compassion's place in the universe. In my minds eye, I see a big bang and stuff spews out. This stuff, settles how it settles, as it has to settle somehow. Do different big bangs spew out different stuff. Who knows? Then out of this inorganic "stuff" organic stuff starts to grow. Organic stuff has two primary differences with inorganic stuff: 1) entropy can be stopped by bringing in new stuff. Systems can replenish themselves. 2) Organic stuff seems able to grow intelligence. So intelligence becomes a third system of stuff, after inorganic stuff, and organic stuff. Intelligence stuff-lol. So back to the beginning, what is this love and kindness stuff? And can other unique stuff grow out of it?? Where is the edge of knowledge for wisdom-lol? I do think wisdom is the edge of knowledge, but how is it known?
