I liked kindingence, it's a good word. I like to see that in people too. Of course I always wonder if I miss it in people whose kindingence is different than my own. I KNOW there are people who feel they are kind and intelligent and who seem neither to me. Have you found this to be the case? Of course it only nourishes my feeling that everything is relative. You and I might not even agree on what kindigence is. We might both like the idea and the word for different reasons. Kindness, as I imagine it, might be different from how you imagine it. Intelligence too, has many facets. Pure command of facts is one kind of intelligence, but not one I particularly admire or want to be around. Creative intelligence, verbal intelligence, these are the things that appeal to me. People with the ability to synthesize- nothing bores me more than people who go on and on about what they've read and fail to ADD anything to it. After all first sources are infinitely better if you aren't going to get any value added. I love artists, because they are synthetic intelligences. They have to be. Of course some artists aren't verbal- not much fun for me. Again, here comes relativity, there's nothing wrong with being non-verbal- but for me I need to be able to talk with my friends.
