I just wanted to say that I have known people with various degree's of intellect and if I had to choose someone who could be relied upon in any situation, the last 'attribute' l would consider as to their merit would be intelligence.
Give me a person of compassion and honesty any time.
Intelligence is only as clever as man's ability to seek the truth in any situation, and sometimes less intelligence is more of a virtue and less of a hindrance than intelligence.
