Simplicity? Complexity? Questions? Answers? Why does the mind try to make complexity and questions from feelings that are quite simple and clear. The human need to compete for a numerical intelligent quotient creates the essential desire to make life into a web of matrices. Thought derives concrete answers to questions that are created by moving variables that can never stop moving. Thus, static answers of intelligence are grounded in sand, yet, competition for right is argued in the human movement of progress.

Is progress really progress, or is progress analogous to proving righteousness in a world that really maintains balance in the form of simplicity. The essential elements of being healthy in an "intelligent" world lies in the ability to feel the human need for emotional outlet, empathy, and compassion from others. While individuals compete for who is best in an effort to fulfill the need to survive with earth's resources, people that do not fear a lack of resources will attain the deeper elements of survival.

Generations of people before us had these elements, but feared the effects of a lack of resources. Progress was made to attain wealth, and for those efforts much was lost with relationship to not just other people, but connectedness as a whole. Progress? Yes, in the sense that we gain knowledge of the universe around us. No, in the sense of being isolated enough to allow the mind to believe poverty exists in the wealthy so that feelings do not create an action to share. The mind creates fear.
