		<description>Dear Agnieszka,

I absolutely know what you mean - about male and female friends. Especially us, girls, do complicate everything coming with relationships. I think I prefer male friends because I admire their racionality and cold mind when it comes to problems. Something what I miss in myslef :) 
I have been thinking about a simple life, about not seeing things outside the tunnel view, about not wanting anything more from life, not to grow wiser, not want to know more, see more and experience more. But it just wouldnt be me. But a challange for me is -in all these life moving on, always find simple things that make myslef happy. And I try.</description>

		<description>is it wise to be smart ??

the more smart human race has become, the more we are screwing up the very system that facilitates our existance. so it really appears that it may not be wise to be smart. 

but it may be wise to be wise. 

 obsece profits, obscene wealth etc all require tremadous intelligence; tragedy is that the people who work day in day out to achive them themselves die of one or the other 'wear out' but they damage the 'system' for generations to come. yesterday u were spekaing of the army of children, rest assured the numbers are only going to increase if soon enough this 'wise' human race does not find ways to distribute the 'wealth' more equitabely, till this 'wise' human race learns to moderate its obsession with 'obscene' wealth and corporate profits !!

let's raise a toast to living wisely, not smeartly !!  whew !!!

love

		<description>Intelligence could not be an aim.  Some scientists consider we have all a large percentage of our brain unused. But others consider that every brain is different: big or small. Also that genetic codes and social mechanisms could interfer with Intelligence.

Though that skill should seem more humble, when it stands at the state of medium. Intelligence is a tool, that gives us an orientation, through a culture, a moral. It helps us to see the pros and cons from, because it has to deal with society.

But intelligence is not the only skill man have. And any animals could loose oneself in, if it had only intelligence. It seems to have a deep bound with the fluctuated reaction in the whole societies. As a boomerang.

Instinct is another great skill. And how could scientists explain the many reactions it's about to generate? That occur in the present moment, any human could not exactly tell how it'd happen.

Instinct is always living, and make us aware about an event, a good as a bad one. Then, brain come to rationnalize it. This a free act. A gift from life. And we all are supply ownself on.

There, intelligence manages with a lot of things, that don't really belong to us, which we can or not rely on. And when we can, we maybe received the help of our instinct. 
That's why the latter seem more free, than intelligence. That may regress, when ignored as a great drawing of differences. And instinct is not about laws that man could change.

No one is obliged to be smart. It is a way of life. And truly playing smart is a lie anyway. People should think about enthousiasm, and listen to the signs that guide them to services they could give. Indeed, it happens people don't want help, or are not prepared to ask. And we suddendly find ourselves very tired, verily empty.
Being smart all the time might mean to hide oneself the truth. But some people maybe are...

Life is better to appreciate with smiles, though we sometimes walk without. 
We can't always be happy. We would like to, we'll be blind from news, or events that affect us, coming together. Maybe because we believed our brain was sufficient, and did not use in time. Or maybe we think brain is the master of oneself, while it's wrong.

We can also make intelligence bent with reverence to slyness. Intelligence can be a smart or kicked horse. It is good for humans have also time to know how it is reacting exactly. 
With it and intuition, Man can break bad mechanisms in his life, and so, in the world.

With Love.</description>
