Intelligence and consciousness are two fundamental aspects of our existence.
Intelligence is defined as great sensitivity, while consciousness implies being aware of something.
The two concepts are closely related and complement each other.
Sensitivity allows us to sense multiple variations of something, while awareness allows us to understand when, how and why these variations occur.
If we possess great sensitivity but lack awareness, our life can become unmanageable.
We find ourselves immersed in the chaos of the natural forces within and without us.
We become puppets at the mercy of these forces, unable to understand or control what is happening around us.
On the other hand, if we are highly conscious but not connected to our sensitivity, we run the risk of becoming hard and inflexible.
We cling to the illusion that we can somehow control the forces of life.
However, life is unpredictable and complex, and trying to control it rigidly will only lead to frustration and missing out on the wonders it has to offer.
In search of balance, we are challenged to find a way to navigate the infinite forces that are encapsulated in our human being, and this is where the word "problem" becomes a stumbling block.
We need a better expression to describe this process of navigation, where we seek harmony between our sensitivity and our consciousness.
