Knowledge is something that we know that you have facts to back up to form your argument and is justified. Knowledge isn’t something that can be created overnight but something that we form over the course of life. I feel that being raised by my grandmother I gained a lot of knowledge and wisdom because she has years and experience over me and wouldn’t tell me anything to hurt me but to help me in life. We all learn from mistakes but with mistakes gain wisdom then knowledge. We don’t gain knowledge overnight but with growth we become more aware of our worldview.

In the New Testament, words like wisdom and wisely are translated from the Greek word “phronimos” (blueletterbible.org). It is translated to mean prudent, sensible, and wise (Vine, 2006). In Luke 1:17, phronimos is used when the angel says “And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord,” (NKJ). Throughout the New Testament, it appears that wisdom is mostly referred to as something gained through life experiences or experiences from God.

When one says that this elderly person has wisdom from various life experiences, he/she is not saying that the elderly person knows much about books and their profession. Instead, one would be speaking about the elderly person’s vast knowledge about what is important in life due to their multitude of experiences. While the elderly person may not be completely wise in the most encompassing form of wisdom, the elderly person does appear to have a more expansive understanding of what is important in life. Simply knowing what matters in life, however, does not satisfy the ultimate form of wisdom, for the wise must know why these things matter in life. That is, a truly wise person must have insight beyond the theoretical, into the practical. Beyond this, a wise person, in this view, must also know how to achieve what matters most, and, in knowing so, do what matters most. I say this because a truly wise person would be able to act upon what they know to be the most important thing in life. It is wiser for a person to act than to merely conceptualize what is most essential in life.
The first illustration of the difference between wisdom and knowledge comes at the beginning of the story. It happens when Siddhartha is a fairly young boy and he leaves his home because he feels that he is lacking something in his life. As Siddhartha is contemplating what he has learned with the Brahmins, he realizes he has learned all that the Brahmins have for him and that is not enough for him. “He had begun to suspect that his worthy father and his other teachers, the wise Brahmins, had already passed on to him the bulk and best of their wisdom, that they had already poured the sum total of their knowledge into his waiting vessel; and the vessel was not full, his intellect was not satisfied, his soul was not at peace, his heart was not still” (5). Although not said at the time, it is later realized that this emptiness that he was feeling was due to the fact that the Brahmins were only passing their knowledge to Siddhartha; however, this is not wanted he wanted nor needed
