Discerning Intelligence

Intelligent people discern, through the gaps in your words, and what conversation they engender they see what is your preoccupation and where they might fit in or be repelled by it and so they answer.

Ignorance is rife and persistent, oppressive and so very unwelcome! It takes the ignorant far too long to understand!

I have worked with people who are terrible at speaking. Maybe because English isn’t their first language, but if you listen carefully and paraphrase, you can really get what they are trying to say.

It’s only the dumb ones that bash others because of their own incompetence when it comes to listening and understanding.

@SW-User True. One can usually puzzle out the meaning.

But when I write or speak, I take care to be as clear as possible. I want to make it easy for others to understand me.
I wonder how much it matters to others and how much?

@JovialPlutonian I'm sure you are right.

I often doubt my wisdom.
