It is a general belief that some people are foolish, stupid or rather unwise while some are wise. Some are referred to as dullards, some as brilliant minds with sharp brains. We all have the same size and brain contents but the way we use our brains are quite different. Besides the brain aspect, we are more opportuned than one another because the quality and quantity of things we have access to aren't the same. I still find it amusing that some people out there believe that we aren't equal. We all posses the same characteristics like the nose, eyes, ears, mouth, two legs and so on. If you have the mindset that you aren't equal with others, try to change that. The fact that you're richer, wealthier, more influential than someone else does not make you different but the only thing that has changed is your status or class.
There's this story of a Professor who had a messenger that follows him about. The messenger happens to be an illiterate. One day, the messenger was busy cleaning up the compound but suddenly the Professor called him and asked, Do you know the meaning of TAUTOLOGY?. No Sir, replied the messenger. He was mocked by his boss for being an illiterate and the Professor said to him, 10% of your life had been wasted. The same incident occured the following week when he was asked whether he knew anything about TAXONOMY. The messenger replied, No Sir. The Professor told him that another 20% of his life had been wasted. Some months later, they both went fishing in a boat. As they were fishing, their boat capsized with no one to help. Then the Professor called on the messenger to get him out of the river, the messenger then asked the Professor whether he knew anything about SWIMMINOLOGY. No, replied the Professor thinking he had done justice to the question. The messenger then replied, your whole life had been wasted. Then, the messenger swam away leaving the Professor behind to die.
Never underestimate anyone, they might be of help to you in the future. Have you gained something? I hope you have.
Remember this "BEFORE GOD, WE'RE EQUALLY WISE AND FOOLISH - Albert Einstein".
