“Intellect is invisible to the man who has none.”

• Arthur Schopenhauer, Counsels and Maxims

——————————————————————————

This is all too true. It is the source of common phrases such as; “Ignorance is bliss,” or “Common sense is a curse not a superpower.”

Everyone has a degree of intellect. Those of us lucky enough to be born with much of it often look down upon those without. This is a failure cast upon humanity by those who think themselves “better.”

Even those of the lowest intellect can teach those of the highest. Those of the highest should only look down upon the lower as they are reaching to pull them up.

Humanity is only made better by the spread of knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is gained through the ability to ascertain via intellect. Wisdom is the experienced intellectuals ability to teach those without knowledge or less intellect.

Never believe you are better than another. While one of your facets may shine bright, another shall be dull.
