thank you, this is a really very very good answer, it clarify me a lot
of things. The original phrase that was trying to translate is this :
"meditation brings wisdom" . and yeah deepthinking could be similar to
meditation,and if its not, i opine it still does a good job, beacause
deep thinking is also a good wise message. But i still wonder how can
you say in lojban that deep(big, high, etc) thinking brings wisdom. I
am not shure , beacause is a very vague phrase, but still it should be
possible to say it in lojban, is nt?
