is death in disguise

sounds easy

ignorance is bliss?

to bliss

I don't know. . . what about all of the people who are severely mentally challenged? They always seem pretty happy.

that's what i'm saying, someone hit me in the head with a hammer please

i would add experience to that..as in life without knowledge and experience......

the intellect alone is quite limited, esp. when we realize all the faulty thoughts our mind can create

it's sort of like lenny dykstra. one of the stupidest ballplayers to ever play and his career OBP is .375.

we do need our mind to help process info., but to get all our ideas from intellect alone is a very limited prison style way to live..

Free Your Mind

define "intellect alone" please?

<------ intellect & alone *self pity*

ruh-oh! an essay question i started trying to write this but it's not coming out how i mean it...

what i'm saying is, our minds often cannot be trusted... i wish i was a better writer, mary...it's just not my forte'...i can sit and talk with you for hours about it though

I guess I'm just not sure when you say intellect, are you talking about the development of your mind (and opinions etc) from the collection of information through books and classes or do you mean something more like the process your mind takes information through in order to arrive as specific (and often incorrect) conclusions.

and in either case (or some other case that I can't think of) what other things should be taken into account to keep the mind from forming 'mistaken' thoughts?

(I'm good with essay questions, but no one every really reads them. :/ )

malice just think of the saying "those who succeed are those stupid enough to think they can succeed."

cute, but it bears to relevance to my question, babe.

knowledge is power, get your books go read em...

wisdom is ignorance, stupidity...i call it freedom...

i always read yours mary

and, yes, the latter...but the former can also be biased, yes?

that's what she's talking about, more or less, just apply this thought to a broader application

if you were living on intellect alone, logically you'd always end up at a dead end

knowledge is meaningless unless it's understood.

i think this is a very good point.
