I have found that sometimes (not in your case I'm sure Teddy) that the higher the IQ the more close-minded a person may become to the gifts of those around them - gifts that often would have benefited the situation had the brilliant person dropped from their superior chair long enough to seek the unique strength of those near him. | Forest Gump is a great movie- but a movie nonetheless. However, I DID say "most cases", that statement wasn't meant to be a strict generalization, certainly many exceptions. Oh, of course, but it works the other way, as well- it's rather a paradox. Those who, in their minds, rise above the Machiavellien cannot exist in the human world without the Machiavellian, the Machiavellian who claim to protect integrity violate integrity in doing so. All perceptions limit those who bear them, and yet it is impossible to be perception-less.  |
