Intellect is a funny word. For many, it's like this perfect ingredient to help them get the ideal skill set.
My question is - Is it ? Is it something that could be consciously derived or added to one's personality? Is it not that unless one loses all consciousness of intellect, only then can he/she come close to getting some?
Those were my initial thoughts on the subject. Sooner than later, I realised it's okay to crib. It's okay to be conscious of it. It's okay to crave it. It's okay to try.
However, when you look around, there is a palpable presence of people, who deem themselves to be 'the intellectuals'. No, it's not because they are, but because they may be people of eclectic tastes, tastes confined solely to the intellectual variety. What they think, how they think or even what they do, is pushed completely to the sidelines. The criteria of a sound thought process is found completely lacking.
Makes me think - Is intellect by one's preference or by one's thought? Shouldn't thought lead to the preference, and not vice versa.
As I often say, the way it happens, is that it happens that way.

So that was a part of an unfinished conversation I was just having with somebody, languishing inside. Compared to the other articles I've posted here, this may seem more like a tweet.
