Ya I was feeling bored and spiteful after reading this thread, sorry.
Honestly the thought that there could even be universal wisdoms, means whoever is thinking that isn't wise :/

". . . The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. Not all things are black nor all things white. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories. Only the human mind invents categories and tries to force facts into separated pigeon-holes. The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects. . . ."

"No documents, no person."
- Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita
"When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity."
- Albert Einstein
"Nothing is more repugnant to me than brotherly feelings grounded in the common baseness people see in one another."
