<p>For a supplement I had to give my interpretation of intelligence vs. wisdom and I fear I may have come off as too harsh. I used a death filled history example as an example. I basically said that a horrible event like the example I used would be an example of wisdom at play IF it led to lasting success and accomplishment. I didn't condone the example, I just said that if it left no lasting ill impressions on the country, it succeeded in the application of both wisdom and intelligence. It's a bit like saying if Hitler was never stopped and reached a state where he analyzed every possible outcome and chose the one with the least likelihood of lasting ill will and greatest chance of success, he would have utilized wisdom. I DO NOT condone the actions of Hitler nor do I condone my example, I'm just saying if they fit that model, they would have been "wise" but not always ethical. </p>
<p>So, too harsh or is it fine?</p>
