Hey, Hoss...

[Adios]

There ain't no old cowboys and there ain't no young wise men.

See, wisdom comes from living. The harder you live, hopefully the more wisdom you gain. It don't always happen that way, but a lot of the time it does.

Now, I'm not talking about how smart you are, or how much education you have, just about the hard earned wisdom that only life can teach. There ain't no books and there ain't no classroom that can teach that.

More please? I have the feeling that this will lead to good conversation. 

[Adios]

Well, I ain't saying I am wise, but I am experienced. I know fire is hot. I know a good woman is worth fighting for. I know there are more important things than money, even if I do know I want more than my share.

I know good whiskey is better than bad whiskey. A good horse is as hard to find as a good woman. I know to treat both of them right.

I know there is a chance I may only be human once, and that I want to get every ounce out of it I can.

[Adios]

I also know a conversation, good or bad, has to usually have more than one person.

You know Charley, I look forward to eventually meeting you. If i read correctly, that will be in about 9 months.

Same here, but don't expect too much. I am just a country boy who doesn't know his place.

I don't talk much to people I just met in person unless I've had a few drinks. (I think LMNO and dimo can confirm this)
Will plan logistics accordingly.

Works for me, I have never met a stranger.

We'll be in the same boat then. To hash out my original thought to that post, it seems like you have had a very thought provoking life, and it would be cool to talk with someone with that life experience who isn't a coworker or a relative, which brings its expected awkwardness and reticence.

Hell, we'll buy each other a Scotch and to hell with barriers.

Sorry, something came up. Had to leave computer for a bit.

I really like that you're pointing out what wisdom is not. Like you said, wisdom isn't intelligence, or education. It's more...understanding how things work, so that you can the most out of what life throws at you. I think? It's kind of a hard to explain thing.

Knowing isn't necessarily the same as understanding.

Right on track.

Now here's a question: Do you think wisdom is something you have to learn, or can it develop on its own?
