Limited does not imply a lack of intelligence. It just means you have put up limits to your thinking, consciously or unconsciously- I have no way of knowing which. Just my opinion. I think you are an idiot, that is true, but I think you are an intelligent one, if that makes you feel any better. You have said about the same about me, in your own, interesting style. Your opinion of me doesn't matter to me and I hope my opinion doesn't matter to you. As for what I have created- Well, I have written several volumes of poetry, which I am very proud of. I have created educated minds, when I taught. I have created a better school, by bringing together corporate donations. I have created wealth for our family by investing. I have created educated children- which not every fool can create- although you continually bring this up. Just another proof of your idiocy that you do not understand the importance of rearing the next generation. It is far more important than the money either my husband or I makes. I have created many more things, including starting a couple of foundations, but I really don't think that is the issue. I would be of value just as a wife and mother- even if I did nothing else- because my children and my husband value me above money. I am the center of our family. I hold the world together for them- I keep their schedules, I feed and comfort, I make life happy- I really don't think there is anything better than being happy. Because even though the future has importance to me, there is no guarantee I will get there. SO I want to live and be happy now, becuase in my conception of reality I will always have the past. The way I consider reality the past is almost thing like- existing forever, in that sense I think we may all exist forever. Does the past exist in multiple swaths, each representing different realities? I don't know, but I think the concept interesting. Does the future already exist? I don't know, but again interesting. My reality is altered by my feelings every day- some days are wonderful, everything goes right, other days don't. Am I affecting reality or just interpreting it differently- or is that the same thing? And do other, larger things, affect reality and change it? Clearly religious people have a different reality from mine. And I think we all live in a slightly different reality based on the fact that none of us is alike. None of us has exactly the same hearing, smell, taste, touch, or vision. So it is my opinion that the nature of reality is not constant, that nothing is actually constant. No more than a table is as solid as it appears, once you learn that scientists have proved it is actually made up of atoms and electrons and protons with more space than matter. Doesn't seem so solid anymore does it? So what is the reality? I don't know.
