Ive lived my life - and a fairly long one its been, too - in pursuit of wisdom - in pursuit, I repeat - I always thought that someday, if I worked hard enough at it, someday I would acquire that elusive quality - But, alas, that has never happened - on the contrary, as I get older, I seem daily to become more aware of how little I know - I am reminded of Dante in his journey to hell - at first, he is guided by Virgil, whom Dante meant to represent human intelligence - but halfway there, Virgil leaves him and is replaced by Dantes beloved Beatrice - which I believe is meant to say that human intelligence can only take us so far on our journey - after which it is up to love to guide us. And in 77 years, that is all the wisdom I have managed to acquire - though I do think it is a good thing to remember
