 What is wisdom? One answer is a reinterpretation.　  To understand what is understood is an easy task; To understand understanding is another: a matter of reinterpretation.  On one hand, people understand the world seen by themselves (necessary perception prior to take an action to survive). This is a matter of the knowledge about the world--what people should learn at school. On the other hand, however, the knowledge usually entails less interpretation than understanding yourself and your behavior. For the latter inquiry, you inevitably turn your eyes to the question of who and how. In other words, as an agent of the understanding, you should describe who you are that is understanding, and how you behave then in relation to your interlocutor and/or your community or society.  That is a question of reinterpretation: a question of academism, why people continue to learn after leaving their school. ao

The light dove, in free flight cutting through the air the resistance of which it feels, could get the idea that it could do even better in airless space. Likewise, Plato abandoned the world of the senses because it posed so many hindrances for the understanding, and dared to go beyond it on the wings of the ideas, in the empty space of pure understanding.― Immanuel Kant , Critique Of Pure Reason But we cannot avoid the influence of L1 when we learn and use the L2. A dove cannot fly without the air anyhow! (van Lier, 2004, p.135)

True love endures, if not, then it was never true. <unknown> A parting entails an occasional courage to a romantic. Nevertheless, do not regret the result. Since you had no other choice but to part from the woman, there was no more than true love at any rate. It is only postponed in future; true love must ever be there. Take, the love you hold so far to your children. It will never cease yet after the parting. So now pay the price of discipline; you shall carry on. You took how you live. Cherish another love; I do with all my body and soul to see if I have one. Winners never quit, quitters never win, they say. ao

If human being were to be faced off daringly against god, science and literature both represent dual body of human propensity criteria: one must see outward and the other inward, whilst god can see both. Since science is a cooperation of human, it is social, organizing work of academia; Inevitably, it should be based on probability and falsifiability before the collective validation. A big difference of literature lies against this criterion. Literature is, contrary, a result of human collection. It is only followed by probability and falsifiability in case people "like or feel like " validating. A work by a man is not by itself called literature but it is found and touched to call literature. This is how science goes inward, and literature goes outward as a crossing point of human body and mind: i.e., their cognition, emotion, and action. To see human history, one will see that it has been proceeding in this way; Science whirls and literature diffuses it. These are constit...
