aesthetics of wisdom

Wisdom involves the acceptance of natural state of things. This is the source of profoundness underlying the wabi-sabi aesthetic.

Wisdom does not lend itself to codification. That is why it can not be taught in monasteries or in universities. A child can get wiser only when he is left on his own, just as a landscape can gravitate towards its natural state only when it is not looked after.

Wisdom hides itself in asymmetrical features. It comes with age, and thus is inevitably associated with deterioration.
