“Life must be understood backward. But it must be lived forward ”
Søren Kierkegaard
Kierkegaard was a 19th Century Danish philosopher who was dubbed “the father of existentialism.” This quote reminds me of reflective wisdom. Wisdom is always the thing we receive just after we needed it! Perhaps that is why some of our decisions seem unwise on reflection?

You can read a quote several times and it is just a quote, but when you explain it to someone else its true meaning becomes apparent. Through teaching, discussion, and argument information becomes knowledge. When the knowledge is applied it becomes wisdom!

I came across this quote for the first time 10 years ago and it has stayed with me ever since. Heraclitus proposes that in life nothing stays the same. If we put our foot in a river, then take it out before returning it again, the original water has moved on downstream, so it is a new river into which we place our foot. He even surmises that in that short space of time our foot is not the same as it has grown marginally older! I love this quote as it encourages us to embrace change because change is inevitable anyway.

“He who thinks great thoughts, often makes great errors”
Martin Heidegger
Whilst I agree with Heidegger that the potential is there to over reach, or be over optimistic, I disagree with the sentiment of limiting one’s thoughts to closer horizons! I want to risk the mistakes in order to dream and achieve more? Am I right?

“Marrying means to halve one’s rights and double one’s duties”
Arthur Schopenhauer
Schopenhauer was a 19th Century philosopher who never married, so perhaps that might explain his take on the subject? He believed that marriage was about continuing the human species and he went on to say: ”what is looked for in marriage is not intellectual entertainment, but the procreation of children.’‘ His views on marriage seem rather dark! What do you think?

“Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent”
Ludwig Wittgenstein
If we could all learn to follow Wittgenstein’s advice, I’m sure the world (and social media) would be a better place. It seems today that we are all experts on every subject. So rather than listen and learn when we are ignorant, or not well versed, on a subject, we are prone to talk and give our views! Facebook and Twitter are theatres for loud shouters, not thoughtful listeners.
