"She" Is Wisdom

B A C K G R O U N D

What’s the difference between ‘Knowledge’ and ‘Wisdom’?

Knowledge: Having an awareness of something while ‘Wisdom’ is the ability to discern what parts of that ‘knowledge’ are true and applicable to life.

Aphorism: A brief sentence or phrase that expresses an opinion or makes a statement of Wisdom-yourdictionarycom.

Proverb: A concise phrase that gives advice or state a truism. Proverbs can sound deep and wise, but it is the cultural context of proverbs that lend them meaning. Without context, proverbs must be interpreted in light of your own personal experience. Proverbs have been part of the human culture for thousands of years.”-Simran Khurana

Proverbs originate from Egypt, Ethiopia, Bulgaria, German, Uganda, Nigeria, China, Ireland, Russia, Croatia, Dutch, Indigenous cultures of the Americas, among others.

‘Wisdom as Female’ The Book of Proverbs (Chapters 3:13–18; 4:5–9; 7:4–5; and more…) in the Bible, personifies the concept of ‘Wisdom as Female’. https://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/woman-wisdom-bible

In other words, the book of Proverbs refers to Wisdom as “She”. “The Church” is also referred to as “She”. Perhaps this is because the Mother of all things…Wisdom transliterated across languages is a grammatical feminine noun.

“She”, Wisdom, is the source of all Wealth, Health, Learning, Leadership, Unity, Love of Community. “She” provides Assurance for the continuity of humankind: A ‘powerful’ impulse in every way.
