Is This True???

Growth in wisdom may be exactly measured by decrease in bitterness.


Friedrich Nietzsche


Is this true? If we have wisdom is there a decrease in bitterness? Sometimes when I've learned things I've felt more for the knowledge I've learned, such as how the outside world and people usually view the beautiful mountains and their people. Many people still look at the Appalachians and their people as hicks and stupid, when, in reality, the per capata for high IQs are in this particular area. And what of how big business really views the natural resources around us and would much rather prefer getting to the oil than protecting the flora and fauna of an area? This knowledge makes me bitter towards them. So, does knowledge REALLY decrease bitterness?
