I've seen and heard of rich fools,
But I've never heard of or seen a wise man who is broke (except by choice due to his philosophy)

The Bible in Ecclesiastes 9:15-16 talks about a broke and wise man that saved his city from destruction. One can be wise and broke. There are several examples around.

At the same time, one can be rich and extremely foolish. Nabal the husband of Abigail in 1st Sam 25:25 was a rich fool and he died young. Also the rich fool in Luke 12 died young too.

It is better to get the two but a rich man without wisdom can surround himself with wise men. He only needs to have a gentle spirit and avoid brash talk.

The wisdom of a poor man is despised. Nobody will look at his side and he will easily be forgotten. But people will manage the rich fool and tolerate his excesses.

1.). WISDOM has no devaluation. Money can loss VALUES.
2.). WISDOM contains money in it. But money does not give you wisdom.

E.g. All expensive Technologies are products of wisdom.
Eg. F16 plane or B2 Bombers.,.... iPhones etc.
Money is for sale.
Wisdom is not for sale. You can't buy wisdom with money.
Your employees widom is not yours.
Wisdom gives Long life.
Money doesn't give you long life.
Wisdom can see death and avoid it.
Money can not see death.
Money expose you to dangers.
You can't loss wisdom.
But you can loss all your money.
Wisdom is permanent.
Money is temporal.
Wisdom is intangible and can't be stolen.
Money is physical and can be taken away.

Wisdom anytime anyday.

Wisdom is spiritual.

The beings controlling the world are filled with great wisdom not money.

Those richest people with money and assets in the world are just pawns and fonts for the men of wisdom controlling the world behind the scene. An average human being won't understand this assertion.

Only POOR & HUNGRY PEOPLE think money is everything.

A fool will soon depart with his money..
I have never seen a wise poor man but I have seen a rich fool

From my findings

Most of these Rich Fools inherited their riches. Some of them had it by luck, chance perhaps hardwork.

Most of them still go back to their broke state eventually.

But it is impossible for a Wise person to go broke because he knows his onions and perfectly understands how the world works.

Re: Money Or Wisdom, Which Is Better? by BondRiv: 9:00pm On Mar 28
Stanleymaster1:
Only foolish people don't known day money is wisdom and wisdom is money. When Solomon ask for wisdom God bless him with riches. Because solomon was wise, he was rich, and because solomon was rich, he end up as a wise man. If you don't understand, compare buhari and dangote in terms of wise man.

Imagine your thinking. So are the corrupt politicians really the problem of this country? I question it with your manner of reasoning. With all the lootings by the politicians in this country, have they acquired the wisdom to transform Nigeria? Only a foolish person will equate money to wisdom. They are two different things. Solomon asked God for wisdom, not money. God added other things, including wealth.

Thank you.

I have seen a lot of Old Stupid people "God forgive Me" in Nigeria with lots of landed properties scattered all over the country.

I have some very close relatives who are in this category. I usually say it to their face they should come and do same thing now wey the country don pafukagrin

They ran things seamlessly when the country experienced boom 1950's to 1990's.

Wisdom.

With wisdom, you can acquire money

Money without wisdom would eventually end up in I get am before

Wisdom is different from being smart or intelligent, wisdom constitute an ability to be insightful in decision making or good judgement. It is not an antecedents of wealthy living. You can have wisdom and still be very poor, especially if there is no much opportunity at your reach. Aside talent, which can be mostly found in smart and intelligent people, society or environment determine largely how far you will go in life.

A rich man will always live a better life because he has resources to learn by mistake. A poor man with wisdom will always be limited by inadequacy.

how is the money that rules the world made?

where have you seen money ruling anywhere in the world?

by knowledge you make money by knowledge not wisdom


most of you here don't know the difference between wisdom and knowledge!


if You're knowledgeable in a field you'll Excell

I have seen very foolish people that are stinky rich


Ecclesiastes 9:15
A poor man who was wise was found in it, and he saved the city by his wisdom, but no one remembered that poor man.

Ecc 9:16 Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard


bottom line wealth is made by knowledge mostly
if you no get update( knowledge) you and your Gbajue wisdom will be broke grin

I choose money any day
