Why is most of what you find on the internet about wisdom from Eastern Religions?

Proverbs 8 is all about the pursuit and benefit of Wisdom. I love the end of the chapter where Wisdom says, "blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For whoever finds me finds life and receives  favor from the Lord. But whoever fails to find me harms himself."

Wisdom is one of those things you can get the hard way or the easy way. I tend to lean toward the hard way, but more and more lately I've been trying to hang out at Wisdom's house more and more.

I love the word picture of Wisdom having a door at which we can hang out and wait for her. The biggest obstacle to my pursuit of Wisdom is hurry. I often find I'm too busy or making decisions too last minute to be able to spend any time at Wisdom's house.
