Intelligence is the stacking up of a lot of data . . . facts . . . tidbits . . . information . . . puzzle pieces . . . whatever you wish to call the constant deluge of “stuff” thrown at us every hour of the day and night.

Wisdom . . . is understanding how they actually DO fit together into a workable recognition of what LIFE is all about. It is the HOW . . . of putting all the separated tidbits back into the WHOLE of LIFE.

“Information is just bits of data. Knowledge is putting them together. Wisdom is transcending them.”―Ram Dass
