But if its not wisdom or it does not fit to our idea of wisdom, should we ignore it? *smile*

It is wise to avoid what agitates the mind.Kind regards
Supposed there is one who thinks that avoiding is the way to attain inside, could it be that he mistakenly believe that ignoring is an aspect of avoiding? And could it be that this way of avoiding might have its roots in a nihilism believe. If that could happen what could be answered if somebody asks the meaning of avoiding? *smile*Isn't there a qualitative different what should be avoided, and what should be not avoided?If avoiding all what the mind is agitate would be the way, one would seek for renunciation. Would avoiding at the beginning lead us to this wisdom. Let me say, if one could not get aware of the cause of suffering, would he be able to understand the benefit if renunciation?If it is so, what would be the propose of a place where our mind would get agitate? Would there any benefit (maybe the understanding of the way of renunciation) of such a place of agitating the mind?*smile*
I guess that is the reason why it is good to leave the palace but not to build another.
So welcome to the jungle, the palace of release.
