Not always true.  Experiences can lead you to wisdom when it comes to
making the right choices.  Though you could you could easily say that
experience is one way Gawd teaches.

I propose the Vedas, Upanisads (sp?? sorry?), Gita, Words of the
Buddha, Words of the Christ..and many other philosophers.  It helps
give one more respect for where others might be coming from if they
read more.  Not saying all is true in these books, but if you think
about them for yourself..You won't be caught up in organized
religion/politics (almost same).
