to be wise

perhaps a part of wisdom is being able to derive happiness from what you currently have and not what you need or long to have. to be engaged in the present and be entirely blissful = a little bit of wisdom.

also i was told that wisdom is the ability to deal with suffering. however i also read that "pain is inevitable, suffering is optional". does one really need to suffer? and is suffering necessary for wisdom? this is slightly contradictory to me but as it is very early i need to jog my brain before figuring this out.
