Wisdom or Wise People?

Important distinction here:

Does something such as "Wisdom" exist?

Or is it more a matter of Becoming Wise?

The one is a definable, more-or-less tangible collection of energies that are to be gained, held to, collected--and most importantly to my thinking--passed along.

The other is a state of being, an ephemeral way of existing in the universe that can be attained but not captured, lived but not given or bequeathed--earned but not received as a gift.

The answer to this question guides the direction of one who is seeking to amplify the voice of Wisdom in our families, our communities, our world.
