297. Owning Wisdom

You can live in a palace filled with treasures and still be poor. To be wealthy, you must own the things you have.

So, too, with poverty of the mind: You may have all the knowledge and brilliant ideas in the world, but you are still poor until they have become part of you.

wisdom
About three weeks ago I accepted a new job because the pay will be about three time what I am making now in three or four years and starts at close to double what I currently make. I am very thankful for this opportunity, but my lose is that my mom (that I loved like no other human on the planet) died two weeks ago and by taking this new job I will be leaving the work family I have been with for over 12 years. So is wisdom knowing I have lost more in the past two weeks than I will ever gain in finances? I would work at McDonalds (that pays min wage here) to have my mom back. I know we dont have control over death, but it is so ironic to feel the biggest gain one minute and the biggest lose the next. Just expressing emotions I guess. Thanks for listening

Thank You!!!!!!!!
I really appreciate your comment, thank you very much. I start to learn and I begin to feeling better, I am glad to read what you wrote.

Yes I believe there are many different people in the world but "We are all wise, the difference between persons is not in wisdom but in art"

Yes I know about the seven laws of Noah.
"This obligation, to teach all the peoples of the earth about the Laws of Noah, is incumbent upon every individual in every era" -- (Mishnah Torah, Law of Kings 8:10).

This is important too:
The Talmud also states: "Righteous people of all nations have a share in the world to come" (Sanhedrin 105a). Any non-Jew who lives according to these laws is regarded as one of "the righteous among the gentiles".

Thank you very much.
Shalom.

Re: many questions (Giovanni...)
There are many different religions in the world and many different wisdoms because there are many different people. And that is the way G_d created His magnificently diverse world: Bursting with endless colors, textures, aromas, tastes, sounds and forms.

Beneath all that is true is a common theme of wisdom. At the foundation of all ethics are the seven laws of Noah. But you need more than a single wisdom. You need a path in life. To find that, you must discover the path that G_d made for you and your people in particular.

The Torah that we Jews carry is meant to be a light to the world, so that every person can find the truth within his/her own heritage and fulfill that truth in everyday life. Learn it here and then discover how it applies to you in your own world with your own heritage.

I have many question about life....
I have many question about my life that sometimes I get confused. How can I know when wisdom is becoming a part of me?? Sometimes I thought I have magnificent ideas but the ideas become nothing.
Every day I asked G-d why I am here and what for but seems that I still without getting a answer.
Why there are many religions??? Why not just have one universal religion???
Everyday I try to be good in evething but
seems that evething goes wrong for me.
I am rich in ideas but they have not become part of me, Well I do not I guess is part of G-d plan for me.
