Re-introduction

To the world, I'm reintroducing this blog in an entirely new light. In the past I was all about pretending to blog about sports because I love sports, but I've found myself musing an awful lot lately...so why not write these things down?

For instance: different people have thought capacities at different levels - it's hard to disagree. Some people are simply gifted and have the ability to think at a higher level than others...however, the truly gifted are the ones who have the ability to fluctuate between levels of thought, aren't they?

The point here is that being smart isn't enough: the real gift is being able to communicate to those who think beneath you. It's not easy, in fact, it's most likely one of the most nerve-wracking things one can do, but the dirty little secret is that those who are not as smart as yourself still play pivotal roles in your life. Whether they are the person selling you a house, the person you work for, or the person who tucks you in at night, they're a part of your life which you can't ignore.

It doesn't do any good to resent people who don't have a gift for higher thought, so why is it so nearly impossible to think in such a way?

...makes you wonder.
