Is “wise” or “informative” better?

To put it simply

Wise = gained over long term;

Information = can be gained over a short term.

So where does knowledge stand? Is it a combination of the two?

KNOWLEDGE applies to facts or ideas acquired by study, investigation, observation, or experience . LEARNING applies to knowledge acquired especially through formal, often advanced, schooling <>. ERUDITION strongly implies the acquiring of profound, recondite, or bookish learning <>.

(Courtesy-Websters Online Dictionary)

Moral: One must learn with a desire to become knowledgeable and therefore be able to make wise choices and decisions

I know I know , it sounds very first grade….but I needed to put that down rather simply – for my own sake…… my comprehension has muddled up so much over the years. Sigh!
