Quote by Joan D. Vinge

But our society does not grant nontraditional forms of intelligence equal recognition, no matter how much it would help us get along or truly enrich our lives.

But our society does not grant nontraditional forms of intel

Summary

This quote suggests that society undervalues and fails to acknowledge forms of intelligence that deviate from traditional norms. Despite the potential benefits of embracing different types of intelligence, such as promoting harmony and enhancing personal growth, society tends to prioritize and recognize only conventional forms of intelligence. This lack of acceptance hinders societal progress and deprives individuals of opportunities to contribute their unique skills and perspectives.

All the laws and legislation in the world will never heal this world like the loving hearts and arms of mothers and fathers. If every child could drift to sleep feeling wrapped in the love of their family - and God's love - this world would be a far more gentle and better place.

Short fiction is the medium I love the most, because it requires that I bring everything I've learned about poetry - the concision, the ability to say something as vividly as possible - but also the ability to create a narrative that, though lacking a novel's length, satisfies the reader.
