Wisdom is the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgement. Happiness is the state of being joyful and content. Both of these qualities depend on something for someone to have them. A philosopher once commented, "Wisdom is founded on memory; happiness on forgetfulness."

The quality of having experience, knowledge and good…

In the book “Against the Academicians,” the argument of wisdom as a way to obtain happiness is presented. This argument is represented by Trygerius, who is a non-skeptic and Licentius, who is a skeptic.

The people of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are considered peculiar by people both within the church and non-members. This may be for different reasons but I think most people can tell that those of the LDS faith are unlike most other people in this world. This can be for many things, but I think a big part of it is the Word of Wisdom.
