I conceive intelligence as our ability to live in harmony with our environment.
I mean by environment all the components which constitute our universe.

Intelligence is a potential present in each individual, but seldom manifest at the origin. Most of us rather cultivate the lack of intelligence from our early age.

Intelligence has nothing to do with our intellectual abilities or our educational level. From this point of view, every one can become very intelligent, even the illiterate ones and people qualified of unintelligent.

On the contrary, the most erudite among us, as well as those who have intellectual abilities higher than the average, can behave like really stupid beings. The examples are plethora in each country and at all the times...

To be convinced of it you just have to consider the relationships we generally have with our environment : they are based on conflicts, wars, pollution of all kinds, abusive production, control, cupidity...

For as much, stupidity that we express and cultivate relentlessly throughout our life is not a fate.
Being stupid in the beginning does not prevent us from becoming intelligent in a second time.

We all have the capacity to be stupid and we often express it with brilliance, but each one can also become intelligent with as much pugnacity and splendour.

It is a choice, and it is up to each one to get determined.

Expressing our intelligence is the only way to live in peace with oneself, peace with others, and harmony with the world.

This is also the essential precondition for consciousness awakening. And it is finally the aim of each human being, whether he is conscious or not.

A successful life is definitively not estimated with our social or familial success or with the number of children one has or what they will have undertaken or not in their life.

No, a successful life only consists in not dying as an idiot!
