Presents Raising Your Intelligence Just live intelligently. If something is told to you decide whether it is right or wrong, then you can avoid all guilt feelings. if you don't do it,then you feel guilty; if you do it, again you feel guilty. If you do it you feel that you are being obedient, subservient, that you are not being assertive, that you are not being yourself. And if you don't do it, then you start feeling guilty again because perhaps it was the right thing to do, and you are not doing it. There is no need for all this clumsiness. Just be simple. If something is told to you, respond intelligently. And whatsoever your intelligence decides, do it this way or that but you are responsible. Then there is no question of guilt. If you are not going to do it, explain to the person why you are not going to do it. And explain without any anger, because anger simply shows that you are weak, that you don't really have an intelligent answer. Anger is always a sign of weakness. Just plainly and simply explain the whole thing; perhaps the other person may find that you are right and may be thankful to you. Or perhaps the other person may have better reasons than you then you will be thankful to the other person because he has raised your consciousness. Use every opportunity in life for raising your intelligence, your consciousness. Copyright?
