    This is a question that must have an answer.

    Which is more important, knowledge or wisdom? They both are quite important, but which one will benefit us most in our lives?

    Knowledge: the fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association; the fact or condition of having information or of being learned

    Wisdom
    : the quality or state of being wise; knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action; sagacity, discernment, or insight.

    Knowledge is knowing someting and wisdom is knowing something through exsperience. I prefere wisdom over knowledge.

    I don't have a definate answer. In primitive societies, wisdom is essential to surviving, but as that society becomes more advanced you need to educate your larger population on many aspects of life, some of which can not be experienced.
