You know, when I was a kid, I thought every grown up adult is intelligent.
As a grew and the more people I met, the more I realised that majority of grown up adults are dumb.
There are kids who are far intelligent than adults.
An unfortunate lesson I learnt, Intellect is something which you can expect only from few.
If you are someone who can think for yourself, independently, without societal pressure or conditioning into your decision making; you are a rare breed. Period.
