The Buddha might have gotten a lot of wisdom and insight through thought and meditation, but more mortal mortals don’t. Sure, a little thought, reflection, deduction, meditation, and similar mental actions might get you some insight and wisdom, but, for the most part, we get most of our wisdom through life. Some of it is from our life lived, successes and mistakes, while the rest are lives lived by others. Life still is, by far, the uncontested best teacher we have.

Conventional Wisdom is More Often Convention than Wisdom
What’s the difference between wisdom, and conventional wisdom? Shouldn’t wisdom be sufficiently universal and timeless you shouldn’t have to qualify it with anything? And why conventional, of all qualifiers, meaning generally accepted as if common sense rather than wise knowledge known to a few? In that sense, conventional wisdom is an oxymoron, which is hardly wise, symbolically or literally.
