Continued from the series, Meet the Personas…
What sets humans apart from the rest of creation is the ability to reason and use our minds to imagine, create and critique ideas. After all, animals do not think about what they are going to do in the morning, or create for art’s sake.
Our brains are incredibly powerful, which makes them capable of the greatest good, but also the darkest evils. Since power is easily corruptible, we must guard our minds carefully—what our eyes and ears take in and where we allow our minds to wander. The Intellectual believes that although the heart, mind and spirit are all connected, it seems as though the mind has the greatest influence. You think, you speak. You think, you create. You think, you act. You think, you feel. Your thoughts dictate your actions, for better or worse.
When you have a healthy mind, you can control your thoughts, you can be positive, and you can change your perspective into something brighter. You can speak wisdom to others, and be a valuable, culture-molding voice in your own community. When hope grows and negativity is set at bay, love, grace and care for others can truly change the world.
The Intellectual believes it is beautiful and attractive to be an educated, intelligent woman with gentle opinions and good questions. Here you will find words that push your mind to grow and thrive in intellect—learning about the world, debating current events, culture, books, and ancient and modern thought.
After all, beauty is not just skin deep. Being an interesting conversationalist is of high value. A woman with a sharp mind, quick wit and a wise soul will never fail to intrigue everyone in the room.
“There is no method but to be very intelligent.” –T.S. Eliot
