Intelligence rules the world...

Marcus Garvey is right: ‘intelligence rules the world and ignorance carries the burden...’
Take a look at the ingenuity of today’s sellers and the naivety of many a buyer – I mean buyers of ice in the winter, fire-seeking residents of hell, fountain-owning water-seekers, and those who live on the beach yet paying money for sand... imagine!

So, I want to add that ignorance creates slavish souls – you know: robots, toadies and beg-friends; those who can go along with anything, without any sound reason other than someone or some group they idolise is doing it.

You know, those people you see all over the place trying to buy from, shop at, attend, visit, subscribe to, join, or support things not because they have to, but because it’s embellished to look posh, and doing unimaginable things just to hang out at, or with people who do not even care about them.

I know, right? No class: the things the ignorant does for class, a false sense of class perhaps, because classy people don’t do trashy stuff like that, especially not with what they don't have.

Class, just like awareness, is not about the costly clothes you wear, the whips you ride, the names of celebrities you know, happening spots you frequent, the barbarian cuisines you eat or music you listen to; it’s attitudinal. It’s a state of mind.
