It's funny really,
the idea,
the notion, the gesture,
that we are all
humans,
intellectual beings.
The concept of controlling this
"intelligence"
of ours,
that we can actually
understand it,
would be like forcing the moon to appear
and to stop it causing the waves.
Without this
"intellect",
we are nothing but animals,
instinctual creatures.
But then what is the difference?
We can train cats and dogs.
But they do not advance their thinking
to create something new.
And still,
this "intelligence",
you cannot see it,
but it can be measured.
You cannot touch it,
but it can be shared.
It's funny, really,
that the most intricate
creatures
rely on something
seemingly nonexistent.

Intellect- if you seriously consider what it is - is by every angle nonexistent. It is not so much a thing as it is an idea.
