A couple of days ago, someone I know and trust told me that she thought I had a "massive intellect". And really, this isn't bragging, that's what she said, and I had problems accepting this from her, because I really *Really* think she's exaggerating to make a point.
When I hear those words together, "Massive Intellect", I automatically think of *Geniuses* like Einstein or Stephen Hawking. I don't think of lonely old farts like me puttering around on Yahoo Answers, and just hanging in there to get by. And I told her this.
Her response was..."Well, if you had more fair breaks in life and more resources....would you at least admit that it's *possible* that this could be true?"
I really couldn't say no to *that* without seeming unfair and insulting.
But...if *anyone* had more fair breaks in life, more resources, it would be possible...And Dr. Hawking is confined to a wheelchair from ALS. He didn't get fair breaks.
See what I mean? What do I do? Do I accept this?
