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??

[FreeFall]

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:

"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.

If only fools ever actually held their peace....

Proverbs 29:11  A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

Proverbs 26:11  As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

Ecclesiasties 10:3  Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.

1Corinthians 3:18  Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
