This seems like an amalgamation of Plato's Cave allegory, and the equality/equity meme.
Perhaps also a nod to Ecclesiastes 1:
Needless to say Solomon was not infact the life of the party.

It is interesting that knowledge and wisdom aren't differentiated, because wisdom requires humility, and with humility comes acceptance and thereby eliminates grief, in it's season.
Possibly, if we were going to draw that conclusion though it might be worth some etymological and contextual analysis of the underlying words, since they were undoubtably not written originally written in modern English.
I think it was Edicted who had a post about morals and ethics the other day and I was thinking about Aristotelian virtue, "arete".
I get your inclination, in your inclination though you assert a definition. That definition may be correct, along those lines I'd differentiate "shrewd" from "wise" for instance. From personal experience, some day (but not today) I might gently argue that my own grief has made me wiser.
The Strong's Concordance identifies the Hebrew word used here was "ḥāḵmâ".

It is grief that has humbled me, and only that could have lent me wisdom.
I have long sought other sources of education, but recall reading Ecclesiastes. My present recollection is that Solomon was lauded as wise, because he sought knowledge that enabled understanding. This suggests that all three are different, knowledge enabling understanding, that wisdom enables applying to good end. I have perhaps unwisely trusted translators to discern between them. The word knowledge in Ecc. 1:18 is different in the Hebrew than wisdom, at least it isn't indicated to derive in that reference from the same Hebrew word.
Also, Solomon wasn't always a party pooper, as Proverbs 31:7 suggests.
I will drink a toast to your erudition, in gratitude you have given me the joy of learning from you knowledge to long remember, increasing my understanding, that I might avoid vexation and misery. I have humbly accepted my poverty, perhaps revealing my madness hoping it is wisdom.
A man of letters! If I don't say it often enough, I always enjoy reading your posts and comments.
The first one seems to be not aware what's happening in the world.
Who is suspending the higher backdrop? There's the real question.
Thanks!
And what of the one who observes the three at once?
Woe to he that can see all three.
In a room full of people, he is likely alone.
