Wisdom is trying to nourish and preserve and respect the ways of nature.
Speech, is the expression of power; casting a spell on others and things to conform to the desire of our imaginations.
Action, is a step of faith, to consummate our power.
But deep inside, there's coldness, and darkness, hunger, savagery and loneliness gnawing.
Beauty is the promise of healing. The flower, the smile, the melody, the saviour, the other.
Perfection is surrender, deep silence, peace and rest. Being nature itself. I think you looked at the negative aspect of all. So what if you looked at it innocently and without reading mischief? Look at it from Mahatma Ghandi 's view as he had all these attributes. e.g. Knowledge could be just simply be knowledge that makes it easier for you to accomplish tasks and not gullible. I'm one of those people who still believes in the goodness in humanity. BBI will solve it :)

Apart from that, everything is 'negative'.

If truth is absolute only, how is communication possible? Expound Can a symbol have absolute meaning only? If that were so, no one would speak.

Therefore symbols imply uncertainty, and communication is the search for certainty.
