Making Sense-"The Owl Has Flown"

The essay focuses on looking past the text itself. Many people who read simply read to say they completed the reading. Honestly, if I didn't have to write this blog, I wouldn't be surprised if this would happen with this same reading. The author expands on this by writing about the true meaning of wisdom. Wisdom is having the capability to see from a different perspective. Being wise doesn't consist of simply memorizing facts, rather being wise is seeing the details or the big picture. Today, too many people only go through the motions without thinking about the reason for doing an action. Retaining knowledge is the real definition of wisdom.
