If one wants to conquer the difficulties of life, it is recommended to develop one's intelligence too.

Just my 2 cents.


How do you measure *higher intelligence*?

In the context of the OP; the ability to conquer difficulties with more ease.

To show who they are as they are. While immersed in my own war within, not understanding them as they were in their own war towards me, I could only end the totality of war in myself by understanding each of them as myself.

In feelings attached I am shown myself in their war, projecting to show me myself at war.

In feelings released/let go of, I am shown myself in peace in their war.

I am shown myself in the art of war and how I end it fully.

Complete.

First I went to the gym, where about 10 screens play non stop music videos. Fortunately they played a variety I could get jiggy with, like proper bands from 90s, and then I went to the huge shopping centre in Chatswood, where all the shops play pop music and it's streamed all through th place. It's all a lot of noise, keeping people excited, and I wonder what would happen if it was all turned off. Maybe people would start hear their own thoughts and like totally freak out. If we wanted to win the war on Western violation, we'd have to find a way to make it go quiet.

That many screens while exercising, gosh that really is too much distraction.
I been to Chatswood by the way.
My h grew up in top Ryde? (I don't know the spelling) I just know they lived in a house up on a high spot and you could see the city from their back porch.

I do believe you make a good point about noise reduction.

Do you believe instinct is an aspect of higher intelligence to conquer difficulties with more ease?
