Being intellectual...

I bought a different quality newspaper instead of the other quality paper I always buy on Saturdays.
In it was an article about intellectualism. Every generation needs a few. Why? Because they can keep the mind of people and decision makers sharp. They can generate new ideas and give different opinions. That sharpens the mind. And in the world of today we need that because we live in a knowledge society.
The intellectual can provide society with views on problems by asking questions because he doesn't know but wants to know.

Okay there is some anti-intellectuality in the world. Maybe because intellectuals are often left in the political spectrum. Maybe because they ask so many questions.
But some of them do the right thing and write beautiful stuff on the web. And some of those writers are on their way to be one of them, Caren.

But happily only a few have to be them.
