What if I didn't need to prove I was smart?

Are you smart? Are you aware of everything going on around you in all time, space and dimensions, seeing connections, pasts and futures that no one else is aware of?

And yet do you find that other people always seem to be talking down to you, explaining and pontificating on things to you, as if you had no idea?

How do you react? Do you nod, smile and think "interesting"? Or do you get annoyed, worked up, and drawn into a meaningless circular argument? Do people ever concede you known what you're talking about?

​If not and you'd like greater ease in these situations ask "What if I didn't need to prove I was smart"? 

Does trying to prove you're smart mean that you've actually decided you're not? Is that true? Or did you buy that point of view from someone, sometime?

​When you try to prove you’re smart, you have to have all the answers. What if your smarts - your awareness - was the thing that could point out where the answers end and the questions begin? What else could be possible then?
