What is more delightful than an intellectual

What is more lovely and delightful than an intellectual is the humble. Even if there is a pea for a brain, the humble is more beautiful than a thousand intellectuals with pride.
Have you seen love flow like wine from the jar? For the humble love flows like a river.

Idealists and Idolaters

The idea of idealizing rather than idolizing is of great importance.
Many teachers, saints, mystics and enlightened men have walked upon the face of this earth. Of their wisdom, religions and philosophies were born.
I would say the Idolaters are those who fully accept one point of view while rejecting or ignoring all others. The Idealists are those who integrate the wisdom of all and reject that which does not correlate with the truth in their hearts without any bias and ambiguity.
The Idealists form less attachments and are free from extreme views, whilst the Idolaters are preoccupied with their attachments and the preaching of them.
