Intelligence

The definition of intelligence is “the capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc.” I fully agree with this definition. For someone to be intelligent, they have to be able to learn, and seek to learn the truth and meaning for things. An open mind is of most importance for learning. But an intelligent person does not only learn all that they possibly can, they apply it. They look of ways to use their intelligence for the common good of their nature. Most people are victims to their own environment; and those people don’t have to learn anything other than what they need to survive to be intelligent. For example, a native in the jungle, who doesn’t know a thing of math or science, knows where to go, how to defend himself, and how to hunt. To that nature, and that environment, he is very intelligent.
