2. Reliance upon a higher power
I have given this notion a bit of thought. And, in truth, I am having a hard time finding a power higher than logic. Not many people know that I did all my calculus homework while watching Star Trek reruns. I found that whenever I got stuck, if I watched until the next commercial break, I would be able to figure it out during the commercials. I confess...to this day, whenever I need to think about something, I turn to Star Trek.
With this dilemma in mind, I watched my favorite old school movie, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. I settled down on the bed with the remote, wishing for stereo sound and a 20' screen. I would have had popcorn, but I was all out. My hips thanked me, while my stomach cried. It's such a boob.
And there it was...right in the beginning of the movie! A magical quote, that suddenly stood out. It is in the scene where Spock and Polaris are speaking in his quarters, early in the ill fated mission to greet the Klingons. Spock says..."Logic is only the beginning of wisdom, Polaris, not the end." I have found my higher power! Now that I have cut my teeth on logic, I need to move on to the meaty goodness of wisdom.
In the search for more wisdom (yep, you guessed it...google), I came across a quiz. This quiz scores your wisdom on a scale from 1 to 5, 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest. I took the quiz twice, just to make sure. Both times I scored a 4.4. Clearly I have gained some wisdom in my life, but there is still room for more. Any thoughts on how to obtain 0.6 bits of wisdom?
