The teachings of buddha:
"a fool who thinks that he is a fool is for that reason a wise man. a fool who thinks he is wise is a fool indeed."
Now... i think i am a fool but i know that saying. So am i wise or a fool??

It would depend on if that saying sways your judgement. If you think that you are a fool with that quote in mind helping you to determine your status than i suppose you'd be a fool but if you find that you are a fool for whatever reasons then I suppose you would be wise. but what do I know. . I'm just a fool!:P

You know this sentence, so u are a wise man.
You think that you are a fool.:huh:
Quote:"a fool who thinks that he is a fool is for that reason a wise man. a fool who thinks he is wise is a fool indeed."nothing is said about a wise man who believes that he is a fool.
Fool (thinks he's a fool) -->wise man
Fool (thinks he's a wise man) --> fool
Wiseman (thinks he's a fool) --> wise man
Wiseman (thinks he's a wise man) --> arrogant wise man :unsure:
guess u are a wise man:)

Wisdom comes from knowledge so if you aknowledge that u are a fool then you have become a wise man. But not a 100% wiseman. You would be working your way to the top so you would be like a 2% wiseman.
