“Slowness means cleaving perfectly to time, so closely that the seconds fall one by one, drop by drop like the steady dripping of a tap on stone. This stretching of time deepens space. It is one of the secrets of walking: a slow approach to landscapes that gradually renders them familiar. Like the regular encounters that deepen friendship.” —Frédéric Gros, A Philosophy of Walking

Wisdom is an admission to years of struggle against a certain philosophy.

After much time and pondering, one can consolidate thoughts into a sentence or two and call it wisdom.

People tend to share wisdom to give the youth a shortcut so they can skate around life’s difficulties. The irony is that it never sticks early on. One must almost always experience the ups and downs to reach the same conclusion on one's own. Even if they comprehend it when they hear it, certain types will test the waters anyway. Life is about an individual’s journey, not neatly packed conclusions.
