Very good, @creativemary. We have at least some agreement, then:
"... had little support and yet they changed the world! So owning this individual uniqueness is necessary if you want to have strong human beings with a capacity of discernment."
I wholeheartedly agree. Thankfully, the world is still not totally devoid of such people. How much effort have been expended to reduce their numbers? To what end? 🤷♂️
To my eyes, a key word in your comment? Discernment. I would add to that wisdom. And state categorically I do not believe intelligence and wisdom are the same word. Is it possible to have too many people with at least some semblance of wisdom and discernment in our lives?
I do not think so, as having their counsel, to make well-informed decisions, has a value beyond measure. At least, I do not profess to be wise enough to measure it.
"And now we are deep into the black hole of who doesn't want that to happen..."
Indeed. 🤝
