BnaturAl's thoughts are like a vast fruit salad Riya: take what you want from them, but not too much or you'll have tummy ache and be visiting the toilets for the rest of the day.laugh

an awesome song dude, if you cannot find it online I would be more than happy to toss it in your bus window on passing ... it is indeed jackyl and titled correctly...and emailable I assume.


one plays this tune in defence only of course, while driving your lorry down busy streets filled with pedestrians.

Is it possible to be an intellectual and lack compassion?


I would think, intellect should lead one to be more accepting, understanding and tolerant.......

It would equip you with knowlege that everything (or everyone) has a roles or reason for existence.............

...............and the recognition that no human being is perfect (no one knows everything), we are all "work in progress"

Absolutely. Look at Kissinger. Look at William Buckley. Look at Lenin. But intellectuals as a group are no colder than anyone else. I think there's an idea floating around in our culture, and maybe in parts of this thread, that there's some sort of either/or dichotomy between the head and the heart, that being smart works against being kind and vice versa. And that's not true. Brains and compassion can and do interact like each hand washing the other.

Its up to us to use our intellect in a comapssionate manner while putting forth our views. Intellect gives us the capacity to reason and think beyond imposed logic and reason and so wit hit comes the understanding of the unknown and the need to let the truth be known. But goes without saying , as all of us might not be blessed equally with such a superiority of thought , to share and to grow is but a pleasure.
So compassion and kindness ar eby their absence an obstacle in the path of sharing the reason and knowledge.

your life isn't our own,
without other people it belongs to misery
that colorful array of sounds
is our reason for being
dont look to the dark side
look to the bright
the signature of every picture

I agree (again!smile)

we all share the dark side of human nature.. u know the greed and selfishness etc.. its our personal quirks and spirit, which make us special and unique...

A dismissive mind is not a powerful intellect.

The two would be incompatible.
