SapienTEEN

Knowledge is far over-rated. What I am sick of hearing is that knowledge can get you anywhere. This is simply not true! A comprehensive study of Equadorian Llamas is not going to help me succeed in life. However, it is the useful application of knowledge that brings the rewards--and this practical application of knowledge is called (you guessed it!)... wisdom.
We live in a wisdom deprived age. We are not taught wisdom and we do not seek it. Sure, we may quote a few impressive lines from a "deep" movie, but then--I never did admire a parrot for its wisdom. The SapienTeen is the one in search of wisdom, which is in fact a journey of its own. But, it is not for the weak-souled. It requires much intro-spection, application, reflection, and thought: qualities that are both painful and necessary for the well-ordered, successfull life.
