WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EDUCATED PERSON, AN INTELLIGENT PERSON, AND A GENIUS?

An educated person is like a library - full of knowledge and facts, quotes and stories carefully sorted on shelves.
An intelligent person is like a computer able to process information quickly and connect disparate ideas in logical ways.
But a genius is like a magical garden - where facts grow into deeper truths, logic blossoms into intuition, and knowledge takes on a life of its own.
Education fills the mind, intelligence hones it, but genius ignites the heart. It buds from within, watered by passion and wonder.
An educated person you can teach, an intelligent person you can discuss with. But a genius you can only stand in awe of, as something new emerges from their interaction with the world, revealing dimensions of experience you had not seen.
Education organizes, and intelligence analyzes, but only genius can create, giving form to what lies formless within, breaking rules yet making its own.
Thanks for taking the time to read this piece.
Have a blessed and blissful Friday.
