Backing up your argument with unnamed sources, rumored facts and hearsay only backs your view and your professional reputation into a corner. Argue the facts with validity, authority and substantial proof or walk away. It is ok to say you donβt know and it can serve your reputation better than sharing what you canβt prove.
Sharing pictures of yourself in front of houses you donβt own, standing by cars you donβt drive, and holding money that isnβt yours as you lie that it is, only sets you up for questions you canβt answer and a completely false foundation.
You can age for a thousand years, and still, no wisdom will ever manifest, because for true wisdom to manifest, the mind must be free, in the actual sense of the term, and the head must be held high with utmost nobility.
Experience does not give you wisdom. Wisdom comes through liberation of the mind. And since most humans live a conditioned life, they never get liberated in the first place, hence they never even have the taste of wisdom.
