What do you mean by "power"? If you mean superhuman power, then yes, that would be awesome, I would Ka-me-ha-me-HA!!! If you mean like the President or the Godfather, that would just be a hassle. If I had courage I wouldn't be so dumb, while wisdom would just make me acutely aware of how dumb I am.

I just got through watching the premiere of Boardwalk Empire, so I'm all about 'power' right now. Wink

Wisdom is something you can gain naturally throughout life. Power isn't as easy to come by.

Wisdom is for chicks and power is for douchebags, so courage, obviously.

That's true, but my reason is that I am not courageous enough to act upon the wisdom I already have. I guess it would be more beneficial to the short term that way, although with more wisdom it seems that there could be a larger benefit in the long term.

But isn't courage dependent of the wisdom of action?

Could be, I don't know if it is dependent or not. Tongue

What is the point of having courage if you fail to grasp the concepts of reason and consequence?

I'd rather have the courage to act on my preexisting wisdom than have more wisdom and not the courage to act on it. Tongue

I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance.
