Great Minds

Great Minds

Great Minds think alike, that's what they say.
But...Just, what is a great mind, at the end of the day?

Great Minds...are inventive, they create new things.
Great Minds...help humanity, don't destroy everything.
Great Minds...are curious, always searching for the truth.
Great Minds...are not blinded, by arrogance, or by youth.

Great Minds...explore all options, never giving in to pressure.
Great Minds...accept consequences, don't just live for pleasure.
Great Minds...are truly humble, never giving in to pride.
Great Minds...are never closed, by day or by night.

Great Minds...understand all things, especially the whys.
Great Minds...are never Pharisaic, wise in their own eyes.
Great Minds...never worry about what their peers think.
Great Minds... can also change, if true evidence is king.

Great Minds...are never slaves, to popular theories.
Great Minds...teach truth, not artfully contrived stories.
Great Minds...are always open, to reality, and true facts.
Great Minds...are not so open, to cause the brain to detach.

Great Minds...understand the law of cause and effect.
Great Minds...cannot ignore, The Great Causer, and his affect.
Great Minds...never feel superior, someone else knows more.
Great Minds...never stop learning, never close the door.
