Here's a good one, is it really good to be smart? I'm not sayin' gettin' straight A's in school smart, but just bein' aware smart. Like, realizin' stuff about the world and those around you. Knowin' how people think and feel at given situations. Knowin' how people hurt and cry, and all the negativity goin' on in the world.
On the plus side, well, you're aware. You're not cut out of reality, so to say. You understand a lot and don't get confused as to why people are so upset and why people are so angry at one another. You know that others feel differently and react differently, and you understand that life isn't as easy as you thought it was back in elementary school, and you know what you have to do to succeed.
On the negative side, again, you're aware. When you know it, you can't shut it off. Sometimes it'll be too much and it'll drag you down. You'll forget those innocent dreams you had and all the fun times and happiness that's so easily overlooked. You'll feel horrible for how so many suffer and wish you could do somethin', but no matter what there's always more tears bein' shed.
If you don't have the intelligence, you can live free. Truly free. All there will be in the world is you and opportunity. No negatively, just dreams. You won't be brought down by others or feel the pain of the world. You'll have everthin' everyone else has except bein' aware of all the horrible things that make reality so cruel. Is it worth it?

Break Dance ;; Not Hearts [♥]
Thats why little babies are so pure.
They don't have nor need that intelligence.
heart
but yeah, it can be a good thing like you said.
I have another point for the bad however.
If you have the intelligence, you could use it the wrong way, or even not use it because you're afraid of what you know and you don't like accepting it. Maybe I know all these reality things, but I don't like facing them because..well..its me neutral
I'll add more tmorrow. xp

i think it's a good thing basically cause well...cause you can be aware of suffering but still be happy, because you can touch the people's lives around you, and that enriches their lives, you can't possibly expect to help everyone in the world. i think that helping some is much better than none, and if you have the intelligence, you can also realize that fact: that you're making a difference for the better in precious lives. life doesn't have to be lived solely for the purpose of helping everyone in the world. just existing and making an effort to be a good person helps enough. and when you think about it, for every tear, there's a smile, for every frown, there's a laugh. the world, and life itself, is about balance.
at least that's what i think

That's why I like makin' extended discussion topics but not rantin' about 'em. Sometimes when people get into a discussion they learn stuff as they type.

I hate it.
I was force to realize at a young age
That you can't always trust people.
Totally ruined my innocence.

 May the wolf spirits
and their howls...I would be in between the positive and negative side. Yes I may know a good amount of things around the world and how people feel. Just a tad problem, sometimes it takes awhile to solve that person's problem when he or she is sad or depressed. But at least cheering up my friends is a good thing to do as well as helping.
Doing something small can still make a difference in someone's life just like doing something big. Even though you can't help with people's problems outside of school, you can still do good things around you. You can bring a smile upon a face or be there for your family and friends.
And Semok, the kind of intelligence you are talking about is Emotional Intelligence (EI). ...guide you and help
you to the right path
