Intellect

There are many things in life that people have names for. They are, easy and hard. Besides these two words being bound by circumstances, many unanimously agree that on other occasions they are bound by intellect. But do tell me, what is intellect? What is smart? intelligent? clever? are they all but just the same? Are grades suggestive of who you are and how life comes as easy as it is or as tough as it gets?

It is such a wide term people use that ur so stupid or you cant make it or ur such a dimwit or even worst, wat a dumbfuck. But when it comes to that, what is intelligence? Intelligence is the art of the human brain. For yes, it is ur brain that tells you wat to do how things are and what to say, etc. It is in fact by choice. Results do not determine intelligence nor does a consequence or ending. It is in fact, an action that determines that . And with that to make things right ,we have other things, bonuses like creativityt humor and wit.

I was just wondering, is there such a totality to this word intelligence? Must there be a dictionary to such a word for i question its direct definition.

English novelist Aldous Huxley, wrote, "The course of every intellectual, if he pursues his journey long and unflinchingly enough, ends in the obvious, from which the non-intellectuals have never stirred."

It is not what happens that defines where you go . It is what you do , you are not stupid because you failed the test. You are stupid because you chose not to study. Noone deserves to be on the floor witha milo tin on the floor with him. Noone deserves to be in a less compromising state than another. You start from somewhere and you will definitely end up somewhere. You do not stay on a side and hope for God to say Hi. Yet what right have we to use stupid for someone that scores Cs and Ds? Are we somewhat similar? Are we actually the same with the exception of doing things differently? It is not fair to say that one who studies and still fails is stupid. Could it be that his ways of studying are less smart than others or more stupid? Yet what do these two words mean? I'll leave you to that.

[Rhapsody Astray] leaves you with finally, a post to ponder about.

Ciao.
