Geniuses

A genius is a person who does what is complex-to-impossible for most other persons around them with ease without even noticing.
Geniuses come in all races, colors, religions.
A genius is usually in a particular area, sometimes quite narrow. sometimes wider.
"Genius" is not interchangeable with "talent".
Geniuses are a Godsend to our societies and world at large, meant to invent, correct, solve, teach.
Where accorded respect and appreciation they deserve, geniuses bring development and growth.
To some societies (said Africa) a genius is
- a threat to his superior's position
- a show-off
- his child whom the dumb teachers cannot make pass exams in flying colours
- a nut
- a fluke.
