An educated person is like a library - full of knowledge and facts, quotes and stories carefully sorted on shelves.
An intelligent person is like a computer -able to process information quickly and connect disparate ideas in logical ways.
But a genius is like a magical garden - where facts grow into deeper truths, logic blossoms into intuition, and knowledge takes on a life of its own.
Education fills the mind, intelligence hones it, but genius ignites the heart. It buds from within, watered by passion and wonder.
An educated person you can teach, an intelligent person you can discuss with. But a genius you can only stand in awe of, as something new emerges from their interaction with the world, revealing dimensions of experience you had not seen.
Education organizes, intelligence analyzes, but only genius can create, giving form to what lies formless within, breaking rules yet making its own. 0 reply

“The Truth coming out of the well” Jean-Léon Gérôme, 1896.
According to the painting’s legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says: “It’s a marvelous day today!” The Truth sighs, for the day was indeed beautiful.
They spend time together, reaching a well. The Lie says: “The water is nice, let’s bathe!” The Truth, suspicious, tests the water and finds it pleasant. They undress and start bathing.
Suddenly, the Lie leaves, puts on the Truth’s clothes, and runs away. The furious Truth chases after her, naked.
Seeing the Truth exposed, the World turns away in contempt. Ashamed, the Truth returns to the well and disappears forever.
Since then, the Lie, dressed as the Truth, travels the world, satisfying society, which has no desire to see the naked Truth. 10 replies
