Intelligence

It's like the most important thing in the world when determining status...

why do you think insults like 'stupid' and 'retarded' cut so deeply? It is not because it is openly vulgar, but it is because it is degrading, it makes someone feel like dirt, useless and worthless. But under what circumstances can a person use words like that on a fellow human? There is, was and will never be a real way to judge someone's intelligence, the closest you can get is by constantly having serious conversations with someone. From then you get to know the person really well, and it is thus very easy to see where that person is on the IQ ladder. Why do you think there is so much controversy over the exams? The whole point of exams is theoretically prove how samrt you are, so that you can find a job when you grow up. I wonder if any of you remember the speech i gave in sec one during english... i said that exams dont prove anything but your ability to memorise, your ability to write THAT much in a set period of time. Now i look back at it, and still stand firm to my beliefs.

I know most of you out there perceive me as being stupid... a total retard... i dont know if you pple really mean it, or just do it cause you think thats how i should treat it. Maybe you think that it doesnt affect me, that i just accept it without feeling a single thing. Well i'll have you people know that inside i am wrecked, it tortures me, it is probably the main cause of my depression.... I know my results aren't great, and that sometimes i act in a manner that most of you perceive as 'spastic', but since when do actions determine your intelligence?

Maybe it's just my belief, but i speak out for all you social outcasts out there. I feel that under no circumstances should a person say anything to anyone that will force them to feel like dirt, especially if it isnt true and is done just because thats how you think that person should be treated. Even a passing comment can seriously ruin someone. It is always better to be vulgar and explosive, than to be subtle and hurtful. If some one is apparently normal, not mentally disabled, then there should be no reason to use such hurtful terms on that person, no matter how much you hate him or dislike him. Notice how i hardly use those terms, that probably explains me being openly vulgar. I understand how people in that situation feel and i symphatise with them. I know swearing is against christian values (thus i'm trying to put an end to it this year), but isn't it a greater sin to judge other people? That is God's job and God's job alone. It is not up to you to decide a person's intelligence by using terms. Even complimenting someone for being smart can be as devastating as insulting someone.

Sorry for the long post but i think it's time people out there actually realise how i feel and stop criticising me. We are all equal in God's eyes, there should never be a reason to judge another.
