Perhaps wisdom is perception. One is wise when they fully understand their options, and choose accordingly. What I seek to teach, is wisdom itself. I have no idea how to do this. I only know the first step is Zen: self observation, and disconnection of sense and action, allowing one to choose.

For many, wisdom comes from experience. Upon attaining fluency, they begin to notice what was once invisible to them. This leads to observation and the opening up of options and choice. It is probably the slowest way to attain wisdom. Most of the martial arts stories I've read follow this path: master the art, and from that mastery, develop wisdom.

I believe foolishness comes from ignorance. If one does not understand the consequences of their actions, or the full range of options available to them, it is difficult to choose wisely, if a choice is even possible. Much of the suffering in affluent countries comes from foolishness. If we could teach people wisdom, much of this suffering could be avoided.
