Distinguishing Knowledge from Wisdom in Human Pursuit

Read the following excerpt from a philosophical essay:

The quest for knowledge has been a central pursuit of humanity since the dawn of civilization. It drives innovation, fuels imagination, and shapes societies. Yet, in our relentless pursuit, we often overlook the intrinsic value of wisdom—an understanding that encompasses not just facts, but the ethical and moral implications of those facts. The tension between knowledge and wisdom poses questions about how we should apply what we know to improve our collective existence.
