Nice info.

bluefilm:
You were right on so many points.

But as a very highly intelligent person like myself, I do discriminate against girls who have nothing upstairs at all to offer.

gensteejay:
I am not a religious person, so I don't subscribe to the notion of gods in religions or to many religious concepts.

I don't see God as an entity that has a name. I see it as a thing — a great source of energy without a name, form, language, or religion.

It is existence and not an entity meant to be worshipped, prayed to, and it doesn't interfere with our affairs.

Humans do everything.

gensteejay:
Funny you. Who told you that?

Christianity was only founded around 2000 years ago, but homo sapiens have existed on this planet for over 280,000 years.

Before Christianity, humans worshipped pagan gods (people that were deified for achieving things no other humans had accomplished in their time).

First Cause, God, heaven, hell, resurrection of a god, soul are all concepts predating Christianity and Islam.

gensteejay:
My points are clear and are not contradictory in any way.

I stated what we call reality (the physical worlds) is only a projected reality.

Virtual worlds, bound by space and time.

The real worlds (inner worlds) don't have such restrictions, so time has no meaning there.

In that reality (where the Source or God is), there is no beginning nor end.

gensteejay:
What I said in the comment you quoted is enough to show that God (Energy) has no beginning nor end.

But you can believe whatever you like, even though you can't prove that something can come from nothing.

What I have experienced personally in life has shown life is much deeper than science or religion paints it.

"If you can show me how it's possible for something to come out of nothing whether quantum-mechanically, or using any concept, I will agree with you that something can exist without a first cause, however logically absurd that sounds."

LordIsaac:
Nice piece.

GodWrites:
The only quick way to spot an intelligent person is to ask if he or she believes in the existence of God. Affirmative means they aren't intelligent yet, otherwise means they are.

Composure and unconventional approach to things for me.

Good to know.

Thank you, OP.

1) There is a certain aura of natural decency in the way they carry themselves. They have an inbuilt courtesy mannerism that makes it difficult for them to ever look down on you even if they are more knowledgeable.

2) They treat everyone equal. An intelligent person always respects people, and will relate to you in a decent and open-minded manner. Well, except you start showing a funny side which they may not be comfortable with; they may choose to start ignoring you.

3) Intelligent people don't feel insecure about the intelligence of other people. Rather, it attracts them. They don't get repelled by the fact that someone else is more knowledgeable than them. Their curiousity is sure to increase, and they will learn from the person instead.

4) They have an insatiable appetite and desire for knowledge and experience. Intelligent people know that knowledge and experience rule the world. They learn, they unlearn, and relearn. They also repeat the cycle because if you stop learning, the mind starts to deteriorate.

5) They pay attention to detail, and may appear to be perfectionists at times. This comes from their meticulous nature of doing things to the best of their ability as opposed to doing something for glory or personal glamour.

6) Intelligent people may keep procrastinating a work for a while, but they usually finish the work in one single sweep when they eventually decide to do the work. Though this may seem like a good trait at first, overtime the procrastination may lead to many unfinished works, overburdening the mind, causing exasperation in the process. Therefore, as much as possible, an intelligent person ensures that procrastination doesn't take the place of actualising set goals.

7) Every intelligent person i know is broad-minded and love constructive discourses about ideas, politics, religion and concepts.

Intelligent people accept people for who they are, knowing fully well that everyone have their own personal baggages and different life experiences. They embrace other people's culture and will share in the good attributes of such culture whenever they can.

9) Intelligent people are open minded person's who will never discriminate against anyone because of where they come from or the religion they practice. An intelligent person knows that maturity involves acceptance of other people's culture without bias towards their gender, race, religion or ethnic origin.

10) Intelligent people make mistakes too. However, they're quick to self-correct the mistake, and so you may always think they're saints and the world has lined a smooth sailing passage for them. No! Intelligent people also have their personal problems, but they don't let it get it in the way of their common sense of reason. It doesn't give them an excuse to turn to jerks and start throwing queer tantrums at random to the world or people.

Because their situation in life rarely affect their mannerisms, other people will always misinterpret their behaviour and assign their own different conflicting interpretation.

IamAuntyOnion:
I think it's good to worry about the future. It will help one to plan ahead

DkJay:
@IamAuntyOnion

Worrying about the future never solved any problem. Instead, it takes away the energy and intelligence needed to solve present challenges.

Here's some in addition:

>> Stay away from toxic people
>> Be kind. Kindness is a superpower
>> Exercise often. Health is wealth

Nice write up. I especially like number one. People are too judgmental.

Wonderful post, OP. Thanks for sharing
Procrastination is a no no if you want to be successful. I know like most people do, if you have a habit of procrastinating, please stop.

2face Idibia once said “Life is so simple, but they make it complicated”. I think this summarises the underlying principle of life. Your life is yours to live, you don’t owe anybody any explanation on how you live your life so long as you are not hurting anyone.

Living a simple and peaceful life is as easy as it comes. However, like with everything else, it totally depends on the way and manner you approach situations in life. Here are 8 simple habits i have curated to help you live a very peaceful life. By inculcating some or all of the points listed here, you will be removing unnecessary and avoidable baggages.

1. Stop yourself from being judgemental.

It’s easy to judge other people. By judging others, most people pass down their views. Most people don’t realise that the moment you express your opinion of anything, you have passed a judgement.

You need to stop this. Opinions change, and they change very fast depending on situations. Before giving your opinion of anything, make sure you know the implications. If someone values your opinion, and it turned out to be trash, you would have disrespected yourself, and lost your dignity.

Note that opinions are different from statement of facts. Statement of facts are verifiable, unlike opinion. This Is not to say that some opinions are not conceived from facts.

2. Say ‘thank you’ early and often.

Gratitude is a virtue. At all times, learn how to be grateful. For all the things you think you don’t have, there are many more you have but are probably taking for granted.

Think of all the good things that has happened and is still happening in your life. Be grateful for them, and know that no-one has it all. The happiest people are those who are grateful for the little they have. Say ‘thank you’ always.

3. Smile more, Be yourself.

In case you don’t know how to, you could always smile to the other fella staring back at you in the mirror. Yes, use the mirror and practice the art of smiling. Smiling does open doors. Smiling makes you approachable.

Trust me, no-one wants to approach an angry or frowning looking person. We all have reasons to be angry or frown i guess, but there’s no need carrying it about on your face all day. Ain’t no prize for the best frowns!

4. Don’t worry about the future.

Well, actually, you can’t stop worrying about the future. However, you can stop worrying about things from the future that is not going to help your life today.

Remember, you need to live through today first before you can have a future to look forward to tomorrow. So, stop worrying about the future, and focus on the now. If you can make now better, you would have created a great future for yourself.

5. Listen to understand, not to respond.

You find that most people have their premeditated speeches stored in their mind. This forces them to focus more on trying to pour it all out during conversations or arguments. This approach may be wrong.

There is more to learn in listening. The more you listen, the more your mind becomes more critical and analytical. This helps the mind become more sharper, and with the ability to decipher what is important for the individual, including how to contribute meaningfully to any conversation.

By focusing on listening, your mind is forced to be critical, and to carefully interpret the information it is recieving.

6. Don’t procrastinate.

This cannot be overemphasized anymore. Procrastination is the enemy of time. In fact, anytime you get the urge to shift a particular chore you are supposed to do, that’s the moment you should do that chore immediately and be done with it.

When you procrastinate, you end up creating issues for your mind and brain. Your brains attention will forever be drawn to that unattended chores, and will metamorphose into a worrying spree for you.

You can avoid this by simply doing the work or chore immediately it comes up on your to-do menu.

7. Prioritize yourself.

Everyone is selfish, you should too. You should always come first in everything you do. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t help others when they ask for your help or go out of your way to help another. No, it simply means that when push comes to shove, you should always choose yourself.

8. Stop criticizing.

Most people are self-acclaimed critics. They will criticise everything and everyone else, but never themselves.

If you are among this group of people, you need to change this habit. Constant criticism of others most times it’s just a show of lack or frustration in the individual doing the criticism. Most of the times, the person doesn’t even realise it.
