Do you believe that people in this world are all equal? or we can say we are totally congruent? There are some ideas comes in my mind when I heard this question, people are born unperfect, peoples' always commit mistakes in their lives. Well, how can you explain about the most problem always looked-for by our dear teachers in the classrooms..
they always asks for their selves: on how to teach their pupils properly in the guidelines they looked-for?)... People are not perfect, but what can you say about the genius people? they are my idols in life, they are one of the most luckiest people in the world and also those scientists, mathematicians and inventors. I wanted to be like them in the future...
But, Why do people descriminate those less-minded or we can say idiot people? why God give every people different feelings, if we can always think we are all equal in this world? God was great! I totally agree with it... But the question is, how and why we are different, why there are an idiots and there are genius?

I strongly believe that all people are born being equal. We are all born from the image and likeness of God and this is my basis for saying such. Our personality/mentality is then affected by four factors:
environment living in
Genetics
Our Health
Social factors
Much is contributed by these factors to the way famous intellectuals think. Well, this is my opinion and i strongly believe that this is the major cause of such.

Althought we're not exactly equals (everybody has different points of view, different perceptions, origins, etc) we must share a conscience about the importance of respect and freedom of speeck and of course of love and solidarity with the poor people that don't have the same opportunities as we do.

yes, we are all equal, but that's only in God's eyes.. how about in the people's eyes are we equal? there are no congruency as well, how about those unlucky children? those abnormal children? there are all limitations in congruency in this world...

Do you really expect a clear answer to your questions? You're not getting it from anyone. Things are just the way they are. There are a lot of genetic, historical and etc. factors that weigh on how intelligent (or not) of a person you'll be on this world.

I'm just super-naturally confused about it... All of us maybe want to ask some answer of it, I'm finding-out what should be the reaction of the people who has aware of it... But, it is hard to find an answer... Many people still asking, "WHY?".. "Why I am dull, or either Why I am bright?" It is hereditary, it is because of my own ability or it is because of God?

The difference between genious and idiot (actually I'm a little bit confused about context of idiot here, is it about some disability/dyslexia or idiot because he or she is just simply stupid, but I take here as the second one) is about their choice. That's it. It's so simple. Basicly, all people around the world are about the same. Each of us has one magical brain, which God gives to everyone. It's about how optimum we use it.

We are not all equal but we all do have our talents and that which is special about us. By having so many views, man gets a larger picture than any one man may have. Life is about learning and growing as people. Sure the genius can teach the idiot something but I'd be willing to bet there is something the genius can learn from the idiot as well.

I see what you are trying to say man.
I think that people are alot and I mean alot smarter than they think they are.
I use to look up to all the great minds in my school books.
Then one day I was out of school and still trying to learn and alot of things were making sense. I started to fit what was going on.
Most of what happens is not because someone is smarter than the other person, it is because of social factors. Things like population-wealth, violence, and competition throw the world into a kind of decay. People are allways trying to do better than each other and thats why class rooms are supose to be filled with c's not A's because a c is average.
Inventing things is easy, but getting the materials is hard. Being safe about it will never happen.
The only reason one person is called an idiot and the other a genius is because someone said so.

People are equal, in that they should have equal opportunities and be able to live in a free and just society. This is only as far as equality can be taken. Some people will always be better off than others. They maybe born in well to do families with will ensure good education, maybe born with better IQ so and so forth.

We are all different. I want to throw a couple of thoughts out there for you...Take a genius say he's born into a home that doesn't value people or their differences. He may grow up in a home being told how dumb he is. (this is sad but true) He may possibly never reach his full potential because of the environment he was raised in. Others who are born in a very supportive "you can do anything you desire" envronment may reach higher heigths than the genius simply because of their environment. I don't ever limit anyone genious or not! you never know what people may end up doing or being. I support everyone and never tell them they can't reach their dreams.. I've had a few dreams smashed myself!

Hi ruiz_richard22, the birthing is pretty much the same except one is taken via C section. So, everyone is born equal. But each person is unique. Not even identical twins are the same. The intelligence and the talents are also distributed. So far, I think there are 8 intelligences. I am blessed with two or three. With the talents, especially in arts, I have none. There are geniuses, but they are as abnormal as the idiots. I am happy I am normal. Always there will be greater or lesser persons than we are. Be happy with what you are.

I agree that all the people are equal only if we consider all their pluses and minuses,,,That is you just can't say some one idiot ..If you feel so then God should have given him something which could balance that "idiotness"...........so all the people are equal,,,,,,,..........////////////

People lived in the world with different brain, thought,opinion, certainly, many ability achieved by posteriority achivements, and some people lived a rich life with a fortune, maybe the fortune was given by their parents, so he got all the advanced education during his growing up, so he will have advanced brain, but for those poor people, they don't have the advantage to learn, only do the general work, so their activity looks like a idiot not genius.but I think many scientists, mathematicians and inventors they did a great things, so people will take them as a genius, in fact, they worked hard to spent more.

Are not many genuises considered to have been on the autistic spectrum, which would have them considered to be 'idiots' within the confines of a normal life? There are many kinds of intelligance and the 'normal' school system is ill equipped to deal with it. I believe that nuture is very important, but you cannot make lemonade from apples and so should concentrate on being the best you can be with your god given gifts. To have a rounded world we need different levels and talents. It is so unfortunate that much is lost due to surroundings and upbringing. I feel there are different skills needed in the world and god has provided different mindsets to address this.
