Get Wisdom
In this crazy journey through life, we get to choose what we care about. Getting wisdom has always been high on my list. I want to know what’s true and what’s not. I enjoy interacting with other seekers. I try to avoid phony poseurs, blowhards and self-righteous jerks.
My friend Kneal Leininger just sent me a good blog post called 10 Signs of Intellectual Honesty that will help you decide if you are an honest seeker or a phony poseur. It’s a long struggle toward truth, but that post will help you check that you’re moving in the right direction.
After I inserted this photo from Wikpedia of Rodin’s The Thinker, I remembered how much we enjoyed the Rodin sculpture museum in Philadelphia. If you’re near the Philadelphia Art Museum, perhaps running up the stairs in your best Rocky impersonation to celebrate the Phillies, you should go next door to the Rodin Museum.
