We live in times when the human intellect has been given a
role utterly disproportionate to its intended function. This is due to the
lopsided development of this aspect of the mind encouraged by modern education.
On the one hand, it must be remembered that the intellect is crucial for human
survival on this planet. You are able to discern a person from a tree only
because your intellect is functional. You know that you must walk through the
door, not through the wall, only because your intellect is functional. On more
complex and sophisticated levels, the intellect has contributed immeasurably to
human civilisation and culture.
