Our society cherishes standardization and conformity which leads to the neglect and early deaths of many truly great figures. Ask yourself this one question, do you truly appreciate intellignet people or just people that make you feel intelligent? If it is the latter you just might be an intellectual abuser. It can be difficult to evaluate our own weaknesses but of we are honest with oursleves we know the truth. The greats get neglected becaise they do not conform and are not standardized. Open your eyes and minds to embracing more than your own comforts and preferences while there is still time to change.
