Got that right, Mrzzy! We would definitely be AS gods if we could all find a way to work together in harmony.

Slag - Well, yeah. ;-) But I have met people whom I considered to be wiser than myself. Not too many, admittedly, but a few here and there.

(I might add as a caveat that I have met a simply vast number of people who have knowledge or information or practical experience or various types of skills that I do not...and even some who were better looking than me! (joke)...but only a few whom I definitely felt were a good deal wiser than I am.)

What I have learned from Amos is...umm...well, I learned about the word "frisson" from Amos. And a couple of other rare and sophisticated words too. He has frequently reminded me of the old phrase "I swan!" (which is not about the bird) What a guy that Amos is, eh? He's like a walking thesaurus. ;-)
