Intelligent people have no friends. Or maybe just one or two. The thing is... they observe too much. They notice the little things most people miss. The change in your tone. The energy behind a compliment. The difference between what you say and what you "actually" do. The intentions behind carefully chosen words. They observe patterns. Read behaviours like a book. They can sense whether you're pretending, or being genuinely happy for them. They don't say it. But trust me, they know.
Yes, the money is being wasted but it's crazy that every old person levy passes but every public school fails. Shouldn't it be the other way? Invest in the future?
