shigglyboom -> Shig's Axiom of the Week .2 (12/18/2005 11:00:28 AM)
Intelligent and self-aware does not equal kind, honest, or sane. So how often do those qualities go hand in hand?

Tristan -> RE: Shig's Axiom of the Week .2 (12/18/2005 12:00:56 PM)
I would say that there is absolutely no correlation between intelligence and any of the other traits listed. I'm not sure if self awareness leads to sanity...it might. There also might be a correlation between self awareness and kindness as in if someone is self aware, he or she might be able to feel compassion for someone or something. However, it would also not surprise me if someone like Ted Bundy had a high degree of self awareness.

Midear Shig- One would like to think there is some relationship between compassion and intelligence- But the scary truth is that while most of the very intelligent people I know are kind, they might just be faking it. I think that compassion- true compassion, the understanding of anothers world- is in the best interest of the indiviual. Stay warm, Lawrence

However, i have not met anyone who i considered self-aware who was not a giving soul. candystripper

Being greedy or cheap is a way of diminishing one's world; it bespeaks a lack of confidence and a needy spirit. candystripper

Self aware taken too far becomes self absorbed. At that point negating all of the other positive qualities that may have been just below the surface waiting to blossom.
