Where is the true wisdom of life?
It seems to me: in the harmony of mind and soul and in the perception of life. To accept the World, the Universe, Man as they exist. In doing so, do not get stuck, do not fall under the burden, but understand that everyone has their own.

@innertalks Between lives we go to God and experience God's Unconditional Love. It's a Love that feels so good we would do anything for it. It heals all hurt. When we see God, we want to be just like Him. We see where we are and where we need to be. The only one who judges will be ourselves.
Who knows how long one basks in God's Unconditional Love but there comes a time when kiddies go back to school and are born into a new physical body.
God sets the parameters of our lives but the choices are all ours. God returns our choices to us to teach us what our choices and actions really mean. When one understands all sides, our intelligence will pick the best choices. You see, with this system, there is no need to define good from evil simply because given enough lessons, everyone will pick the Best choices.
When God returns our actions back to us, God is also teaching us to Love Unconditionally. After all, that is what everyone wants to return to them.
There is no time limit on learning and actions in one lifetime might not return until a later lifetime. Though one might not remember a past life keeping one's focus on the lessons at hand, who we really are carries ever forward toward our perfection.
In a multilevel classroom, one can see people learning lessons we have already learned. We ask ourselves. How can those people do what they do? For those of us who must watch, it is just a reminder of what the best answers really are. There has never been a reason to hate or label people evil. In the end, one will discover the price for hate is always too high.

If this was so, who sets our lessons?
Is life the master teacher?
Or, is there something, beyond life, that has set the lessons for us to learn?
Perhaps, we set out own lessons, might be another take on this.
If we have a higher self, and a lower self, perhaps it is our higher self that is setting our "lessons", so that we might acquire conscious knowing of truth, rather than just an unconscious connection/knowing to it.
And so, any wisdom that we acquire here in our lower selves is passed, over many lifetimes, up to our higher self, and our higher self eventually might reach some type of an enlightenment, through our agency then, and when this happens, we find that we and our higher self are then really one.
We have then connected the divide, without any gap existing then, between us anymore.

Yes, there is a lot of wisdom in Bible, but I don't think we can become wise just reading it. Life's experiences, challenges, and overcoming them give us much more true wisdom than anything else.

@lillywriter Life is very challenging and so it is good to know different approaches to a challenge and to read about how others coped and overcame similar challenges. Yes, our attempts at dealing with a challenge can also produce wisdom.

It is written in Proverbs - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For through wisdom your days will be many, and years.
Each one of us has our own unique being but all of us are enjoined to seek wisdom, specifically to grasp that knowledge and understanding of the vast universe, and the Creator Who actually wrote us our story.
The Good Book has defined and clarified Wisdom.

@lillywriter Each hurdle a lesson, yes. Each experience an addendum.

Yes, each of us is unique being but the challenges we overcome in different ways. I want to believe, overcoming our challenges we become wiser.

Interesting question. Where is the true wisdom of life?
But is there true wisdom in life to be found?
What is true wisdom?
What is it worth to acquire wisdom from life here, if we cannot take it with us, as it would be lost then, to us, and mostly to others too, if we did not share it with others, and also sharing our wisdom might help others, but really, they need to acquire wisdom of their own, I would say, wouldn't they?
And so, my answer would be that the beginning of wisdom is the embracing of God, and his love.
No wisdom is complete without God in it. He gives it its depth.
Otherwise, wisdom remains shallow on the surface stuff, cliches of common sense, without the connection to the real truth underneath
Wisdom must connect to truth to be really valuable to the one acquiring it.
