We build on buildings, and buildings fall...

It's hard being smart, when you're not really. I see and hear of so many other people, real people, smart people; and I am envious. I struggle to read a book without repeating through each paragraph at least twice. I never finished high school, I never finished year 8, and as a result don't have the building-block knowledge to further myself in ( Read more... )

The thing is, I need to go to a top school because I'm not that naturally talented. Motivation and cut-throat competition motivate me to become a better person, I need that step up to be anything at all. So many people are like this, and to be honest, we get a lot of free credibility, insta-credibility, and part of it's certainly earned, but part of it's not. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they write--from that you can tell how they see the world, and I mean that literally, like my optometrist says, people learn from the images they see with their eyes which leave imprints on the brain, or something like that. Vision is partial intelligence and it's completion is how well you can integrate it into life--yours, other people's, objective, subjective, everything in between. You're extremely intelligent, and if you really desire that corporate credibility, there are ways to get it, and maybe I can help, but of course there are a lot of other ways to create your life-art in this world and have it effect people.

If I'm ever in America, you're in for the biggest bodyslam and bear hug the world in all its written history has ever witnessed ( ... )

I should point out I'm glad and throttling you in hugs because you understood. You actually understood, and further to that, you see as I see: the labels 'smart' and 'intelligent' are too often related with 'genius' and it's all fuktarded. I want to grab all the 'dumb' people and share with them that it's all bullshit, like car-sales and that sunrise you've percieved to be exceptionally beautiful despite photographic proof revealing otherwise. Man, i hate that!

I hate being awed, something reverent and to be fearful of, when it's all just an act I took part in because I wasn't going to be the loser with a fat lip. But you can't fake inbetween, well, at least I can't.
Everyone else should just have more freaking self esteem. Although, maybe it's best not to play around with balance. I should just think less, perhaps.
No, definitely
