That's a good question.
I think by definition ones needs experence to obtain wisdom.

A young person who's had an intense, eventful life? ... perhaps

What is it? How does one obtain it?

Jesus Christ is Wisdom. Putting your trust in him is Wisdom. Trying to live a godly life is Wisdom.

Ignoring everything you say is wisdom. Oh well....

is the internet a chance for you to pretend that you are intimidating and intelligent because in fact in real life you are weak and pathetic?

you cant learn from someone else's experience, it's not yours... all because that experience was wrong for that person doesnt mean it will be for you... i guess if you were wise you would have known that anyway!

Is the internet a chance for you to post things like "I'm really smart" because in fact you are too insecure to allow people to make their own minds up? The fact that you see fit to post self-indulgent boasts about yourself doesn't bode well.

I would agree with you except for one thing...right and wrong are not defined by experience.

You most certainly CAN learn from some ones experience - we do it all the time. Have you ever trusted a doctors’ diagnosis? The doctor has experienced knowledge that you don't even question. Isn't it wise to learn from the doctors’ experience?

my aunt died because they thought something she had was minor, turned out to be cancerous. the inhaler they gave her to "make her better" is what killed her.

I;m very sorry to hear that, but it hardly amounts to "always".
