I agree that life isn't about how smart you are, though I feel that intelligence would have a positive correlation with quality of life.

Oh strodel. Roll yourself up in pastry and set the oven for 280 degrees centigrade.

LIFE IS about how smart you are you dumb fuck!

How smart are you NOT to get your self used as luch for a predator?

How smart are you to pass on your genetic code to the next generation?

How smart are you to navigate the current economic and social climate and still remain sane??

How smart are YOU strodel?

Dodgy not very by the look of you

Life is about a lot of things.

Would you get to the point, please?

Twenty bucks says this is the foreplay of an attempt to downplay the role of the intellect and to bolster the idea of using your emotions when determining religious beliefs.

Maybe YOUR life isn't. But you don't get to decide that for the rest of us.

Foreplay is great as long as it leads to a satisfying climax.

Life is about.... what?

I can't imagine any word that follows that sentence that would make it correct.... maybe a huge string of words would give us a decent view of life...
but then you have billions of different life forms... each with their own huge string of qualifiers.

My life is not about the same things that your life is.
